Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 1, Hadith 53

It was narrated that Ma’qil bin Abu Ma’qil Al-Asadi, who was a Companion of the Prophet, said: “The Messenger of Allah forbade us from facing either of the two Qiblah when defecating or urinating.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ، مَوْلَى الثَّعْلَبِيِّينَ عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْقِلٍ الأَسَدِيِّ، وَقَدْ صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ بِغَائِطٍ أَوْ بِبَوْلٍ ‏.‏

Within the esteemed group of the six canonical hadith collections, Sunan Ibn Majah occupies a unique position. Compiled by the scholar Ibn Majah, who died in 273 AH, this work assembles approximately 4,000 hadiths addressing a comprehensive set of topics. These narratives provide vital insights into Islamic faith, the proper observance of rituals, the cultivation of good character, and complex social issues. Its reputation, however, is nuanced. It is universally respected yet simultaneously acknowledged to have a higher number of weak narrations compared to Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and the other Sunan works. Consequently, scholars approach it with a discerning eye, but it is nonetheless a cornerstone text for academic reference.
