"I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his lavatory facing the qiblah."Isa said, I mentioned this to al-Shabi, and he said, "Ibn Umar spoke the truth, and Abu Hurairah spoke the truth. As for Abu Hurairah's statement, he was referring to being out in the open desert, where one should neither face the qiblah nor turn his back to it. As for Ibn Umar's statement, the lavatory has no qiblah, so face whichever direction you wish in it."Abu al-Hasan bin Salama said, Abu Hatim narrated to us, Ubaydullah bin Musa narrated to us, and he mentioned something similar.
حدثنا محمد بن يحيى حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى عن عيسى الحناط عن نافع
رأيت رسول الله ﷺ في كنيفه مستقبل القبلة قال عيسى فقلت ذلك للشعبي فقال صدق ابن عمر وصدق أبو هريرة أما قول أبي هريرة فقال في الصحراء لا يستقبل القبلة ولا يستدبرها وأما قول ابن عمر فإن الكنيف ليس فيه قبلة استقبل فيه حيث شئت قال أبو الحسن بن سلمة وحدثنا أبو حاتم حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى فذكر نحوه
