Respect for Allah SWT & His House; Be Modest in behavior; Follow Islamic teachings; Follow Sunnah of Prophet PBUH; Show reverence to both directions -Qiblas &Bayat al maqsud-.

This hadith is about how one should behave when they are relieving themselves. It was narrated by Yahya Ibn Said from Malik from Yahya Ibn Said from Muhammad Ibn Yahya Ibn Habban from his paternal uncle Wasi Ibn Habban that Abdullah Ibn Umar said that people say that one should not face the qibla or the Bayt Al Maqdis when they are relieving themselves. However, Abdullah went on top of a house of theirs and saw Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) squatting on two unfired bricks facing towards the Bayt Al Maqdis while he was relieving himself. This shows us that it is permissible to face either direction while we are in this situation as long as we do not disrespect either direction out of reverence for Allah SWT and His House. We must also remember to be modest in our behavior at all times even if no one else can see us because Allah SWT sees all things at all times.
