أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ مَوْلَى سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ أَنْتَ رَسُولِي إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَقُلْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ وَيَأْمُرُكُمْ إِذَا خَرَجْتُمْ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا – صحيح لغيره

Regarding the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "When you go to the toilet, do not face the qibla (direction of prayer) with feces or urine, and do not turn your back towards it." Abu Ayyub said, "When we arrived in Sham (Syria), we found toilets that were built facing the qibla. So we would turn away (from the qibla) and seek forgiveness from Allah." Abu Muhammad (Imam Malik) said, "This narration from Abd al-Karim is more reliable, and Abd al-Karim is almost as trustworthy as someone whose narration is completely abandoned." – Sound Chain
