أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی يَعْنِی ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْقَعْقَاعُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَکُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ أُعَلِّمُکُمْ إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُکُمْ إِلَی الْخَلَائِ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلْ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا وَلَا يَسْتَنْجِ بِيَمِينِهِ وَکَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ وَنَهَی عَنْ الرَّوْثِ وَالرِّمَّةِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 40
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said:“I am like a father teaching you. When any one of you goes to Al-Khala’ (the toilet), let him not face toward the Qiblah nor turn his back toward it, and let him not clean himself with his right hand.” And he used to tell them to use three stones, and he forbade using dung or old bones. (Hasan)
