When I had finished my prayer, I came to him from one side and 'Abdullâh said: 'The people are saying that when you sit to relieve yourself, do not sit facing towards the Qiblah nor towards Bait Al- Maqdis (Jerusalem).' 'Abdullâh said: 'I went up on the roof of a house and I saw the Messenger of Allah , sitting on two bricks, facing towards Jerusalem, relieving himself."
