" عَنْ أَبِى رَاشِدٍ: أَنَّ سُراقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ قَوْمَهُ، فَقالُوا: يُوشِكُ سُرَاقَةُ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَكُمْ كيْفَ تَأتُونَ الْغَائِطَ؟ فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَامَ فَوَعَظُهمْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ الغَائِطَ، فَلْيُكَرِمْ قبْلَةَ اللهِ، وَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلْهَا، وَلْيتَّقِ مَجالِسَ اللَّعْنِ: الطَّرِيقَ، وَالظِّلَّ، واسْتَمْخَروا () الرِّيحَ، وَاسْتَشِبُّوا ( ) عَلَى أَسْوُقِكُمْ، وَأَعِدُّوا النَّبْلَ".

"From Abū Rāshid: Surāqah b. Mālik used to teach his people, and they said: 'Surāqah is about to teach you how to go to the toilet!' That reached him, so he stood up and admonished them, then said: 'When one of you goes to relieve himself, let him honor the qiblah of Allah and not face it. Let him avoid the places of cursing: the road and the shade. Face away from the wind (istamkhirū), squat firmly (istashibbū) on your shins, and prepare the pebbles (stones).'"
