and the other: it has been reported as elevated in various ḥadīths, which serve as strong corroborations for it. In fact, it has been narrated in its entirety as elevated to the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). Ibn Abī Ḥātim said in "al-ʿIlal" (1/36-37): "I asked my father about a ḥadīth narrated by Aḥmad ibn Thābit (Farukhūyah) from ʿAbd al-Razzāq from Maʿmar from Samāk ibn al-Faḍl from Abū Rashdīn al-Jundī from Surāqah ibn Mālik from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): 'When one of you goes to relieve himself, do not face the qiblah, and avoid the places of curse, shade, water, and the middle of the road. Relax the wind, stand firm on your legs, and prepare the arrows.'" My father said: What they narrate is mawqūf, and ʿAbd al-Razzāq eventually elevated it." I said: It seems he is referring to the ḥadīth of the chapter, and you have known that it is considered elevated. Then he criticized it due to ʿAbd al-Razzāq, who elevated it in his later years, meaning his memory had changed, and the narrator from him (Farukhūyah) is accused. Ibn Abī Ḥātim said (1/1/44): "I heard Abū al-ʿAbbās ibn Abī ʿAbd Allāh al-Ṭuhrānī say: They did not doubt that (Farukhūyah) was a liar." I said: Perhaps Abū Ḥātim did not criticize it because he was followed by others, as it was narrated from ʿAbd al-Razzāq as elevated just as Farukhūyah narrated it. Therefore, the criticism was attached to ʿAbd al-Razzāq, and thus this is a strong corroboration from ʿAbd al-Razzāq for Rabāḥ ibn Zayd, the trustworthy. And Allāh knows best. Now, here are some of the corroborations mentioned earlier: 1 - From Salmān who said: The polytheists said to us: I see your companion teaches you even how to defecate! He said: Yes, indeed, he forbade us from cleaning ourselves with our right hand or facing the qiblah... the ḥadīth. Narrated by Muslim and Abū ʿAwānah in their "Ṣaḥīḥs," and it is referenced in "al-Irwāʾ" (1/81-82) and "Ṣaḥīḥ Abī Dāwūd" (5), and it is a strong corroboration for the reason Surāqah narrated the ḥadīth of the chapter
