Bulugh al-Maram 105

Narrated Suraqa bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him)

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) educated us about lavatory (manners) that we should sit on our left foot and keep erect our right foot. [Reported by Al-Baihaqi through a chain of weak narrators].

وَعَنْ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { عَلَّمْنَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فِي اَلْخَلَاءِ: " أَنَّ نَقْعُدَ عَلَى اَلْيُسْرَى, وَنَنْصِبَ اَلْيُمْنَى" } رَوَاهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيُّ بِسَنَدٍ ضَعِيف ٍ 1‏ .‏
