41. It was narrated that Salmân said, that a man said to him: "Your companion (meaning, the Prophet (ص) even teaches you how to go to the toilet!" He said: "Yes, he forbade us from facing the Qiblah when defecating or urinating, or cleaning ourselves with our right hands, or to use less than three stones." (Sahîh)
41 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ: قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: إِنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ لَيُعَلِّمُكُمْ حَتَّى الْخِرَاءَةَ قَالَ: أَجَلْ. " نَهَانَا أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ بِغَائِطٍ أَوْ بَوْلٍ أَوْ نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِأَيْمَانِنَا، أَوْ نَكْتَفِيَ بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ

This man was a polytheist - an idolater. He had uttered these words contemptuously, and out of ridicule. But Salmân Al-Farisi answered with an intelligent rejoinder, in a very wise and dignified manner. May Allâh reward him with the best of rewards!
