Sunan an-Nasai 49 (Book 1, Hadith 49) #14655
Toilet Etiquette in Islam

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaching his companions how to go to the toilet and forbidding them from cleaning themselves with their right hand and facing towards the Qiblah.

It was narrated that Salman said: "The idolators said: 'We see that your companion teaches you how to go to the toilet'. He said: 'Yes, he forbade us from cleaning ourselves with our right hand, and from facing toward the Qiblah, and he said: 'None of you should clean with less than three stones'."
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَشُعَيْبُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، وَاللَّفْظُ، لَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، وَالأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِنَّا لَنَرَى صَاحِبَكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمُ الْخِرَاءَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَجَلْ نَهَانَا أَنْ يَسْتَنْجِيَ أَحَدُنَا بِيَمِينِهِ وَيَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَسْتَنْجِي أَحَدُكُمْ بِدُونِ ثَلاَثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the etiquette of going to the toilet according to Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught his companions that they should not use their right hand for cleaning themselves after using the restroom, nor should they face towards the Qibla while doing so. He also instructed them to use at least three stones when cleaning themselves. These teachings emphasize cleanliness and modesty, which are two important values in Islam. Muslims are encouraged to maintain a high level of hygiene and modesty when performing any kind of bodily functions, such as going to the restroom or taking a shower. Additionally, Muslims must always remember that Allah is watching us at all times, even when we are alone in our bathrooms or other private places; thus it is important for us to remain modest even then.
