16 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، وَعُمَارَةُ بْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَادٍ قَالَ: «خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ، وَكَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْحَاجَةَ أَبْعَدَ»

Commentary
To relieve oneself, one must choose either an out-of-the-way spot - out of the eyeshot of people - or an enclosed room or shed, so that people who are nearby are not bothered by offensive noises and odors. Toilets in modern days exist inside houses, and usually meet all these objectives quite well.
