Sunan Abu Dawud

A tradition from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم conveying similar meaning. The version of Jarir has the wording: he did not cover himself while urinating. The version of Abu Muawiyah has the wording: he did not safeguard himself (from urine).

I and Amr Ibn al-As رضی اللہ عنہما went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم . He came out with a leather shield (in his hand). He covered himself with it and urinated. Then we said: Look at him. He is urinating as a woman does. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, heard this and said: Do you not know what befell a person from amongst Banu Isra'il (the children of Israel)? When urine fell on them, they would cut off the place where the urine fell; but he (that person) forbade them (to do so), and was punished in his grave. Abu Dawud said: One version of Abu Musa has the wording: he cut off his skin . Another version of Abu Musa goes: he cut off (part of) his body.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came to a midden of some people and urinated while standing. He then asked for water and wiped his shoes. Abu Dawud said: Musaddad, a narrator reported: I went far away from him. He then called me and I reached just near his heals.

Urinating While Standing

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم had a wooden vessel under his bed in which he would urinate at night.

The Permissibility Of A Man Urinating In A Vessel During The Night, And Placing It Near Him

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: Be on your guard against two things which provoke cursing. They (the hearers) said: Prophet of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, what are these things which provoke cursing: easing in the watering places and on the thoroughfares, and in the shade (of the tree) (where they take shelter and rest).

The Places Where It Is Prohibited To Urinate

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Be on your guard against three things which provoke cursing: easing in the watering places and on the thoroughfares, and in the shade (of the tree).

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: No one of you should make water in his bath and then wash himself there (after urination). The version of Ahmad has: Then performs ablution there, for evil thoughts come from it.

Urinating In Al-Mustaham (The Bathing Area)

I met a man (Companion of the Prophet) who remained in the company of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم just as Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ remained in his company. He then added: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم forbade that anyone amongst us should comb (his hair) every day or urinate in the place where he takes a bath.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم prohibited to urinate in a hole. Qatadah (a narrator) was asked about the reason for the disapproval of urinating in a hole. He replied: It is said that these (hoes) are the habitats of the jinn.

The Prohibition Of Urinating In Burrows

When the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came out of the privy, he used to say: Grant me Thy forgiveness.

What Should Be Said When A Person Exits The Toilet In Which He Relieved Himself

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: When any one of you urinates, he must not touch his penis with his right hand, and when he goes to relieve himself he must not wipe himself with his right hand (in the privy), and when he drinks, he must not drink in one breath.

Disapproval Of Touching One's Private Part With The Right Hand While Purifying

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used his right hand for taking his food and drink and used his left hand for other purposes.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used his right hand for getting water for ablution and taking food, and his left hand for his evacuation and for anything repugnant.

Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا , also reported a tradition bearing similar meaning through another chain of transmitters

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If anyone applies collyrium, he should do it an odd number of times. If he does so, he has done well; but if not, there is no harm. If anyone cleanses himself with pebbles, he should use an odd number. If he does so, he has done well; but if not, there is no harm. If anyone eats, he should throw away what he removes with a toothpick and swallow what sticks to his tongue. If he does so, he has done well; if not, there is no harm. If anyone goes to relieve himself, he should conceal himself, and if all he can do is to collect a heap of send, he should sit with his back to it, for the devil makes sport with the posteriors of the children of Adam. If he does so, he has done well; but if not, there is no harm.

Covering While Relieving Oneself

Maslamah Ibn Mukhallad made Ruwayfi ibn Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ the governor of the lower parts (of Egypt). He added: We travelled with him from Kum Sharik to Alqamah or from Alqamah to Kum Sharik (the narrator doubts) for Alqam. Ruwayfi said: Any one of us would borrow a camel during the lifetime of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم from the other, on condition that he would give him half the booty, and the other half he would retain himself. Further, one of us received an arrowhead and a feather, and the other an arrow-shaft as a share from the booty. He then reported: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: You may live for a long time after I am gone, Ruwayfi, so, tell people that if anyone ties his beard or wears round his neck a string to ward off the evil eye, or cleanses himself with animal dung or bone, Muhammad has nothing to do with him.

The Objects With Which It Is Prohibited To Purify Oneself

This tradition has also been narrated by Abu Salim al-Jaishahni on the authority of Abd Allah bin Amr رضی اللہ عنہما . He narrated this tradition at the time when he besieged the fort at the gate of Alyun. Abu Dawud said: The fort of Alyun lies at the mountain in Fustat. Abu Dawud said: The kunyah (surname) of Shaiban bin Umayyah is Abu Hudhaifah.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم forbade us to use a bone or dung for wiping.

A deputation of the jinn came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said: O Muhammad, forbid your community to cleans themselves with a bone or dung or charcoal, for in them Allah has provided sustenance for us. So the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم forbade them to do so.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: When any of you goes to relieve himself, he should take with him three stones to cleans himself, for they will be enough for him.
