They replied: "We perform wudu (ablution) for prayer, we take a bath for janabah (impurity), and we cleanse ourselves with water." He ﷺ said: "That is it, so you must do it."

And from Anas, it is reported that whenever the Prophet ﷺ entered the toilet, he would remove his ring. [Narrated by Abu Dawood, al-Nasa'i, and al-Tirmidhi] Tirmidhi said: "This hadith is a Hasan, Sahih and Gharib." Abu Dawood said: "This hadith is weak." Ibn Hajar said: "The confirmation by al-Tirmidhi indicates its authenticity according to him, which corrects the issue raised by Abu Dawood, and thus it can be considered valid." In Abu Dawood's narration, the verb "remove" was used instead of "take off."

and wash private part

(1) The phrase "and wash private part" is referred to in some Sufi texts as "this means pouring water on the front part of trousers," and they recommended it. The reason for this practice is to dispel doubts. However, I have not found this term in jurisprudential texts. As for those who assume a drop has exited and believe it invalidates their prayer, their prayer is considered invalid. This is mentioned in "Al-‘Urf al-Shadhi."

قوله

(۱) قوله: ونضح فرجه في بعض كتب أرباب التصوف: تسمية هذه المسألة ببل السراويل، وقالوا باستحبابه. وسره دفع الشبهات، ولم أجد هذه التسمية في كتب الفقه. وأما من ظن خروج القطرة فصلاته باطلة. كذا في «العرف الشذي».

ف: ارباب تصوف کی کتابوں میں اس مسئلہ (اپنی شرمگاہ کی جگہ تہبند پر پانی چھڑک لینے) کا نام ”بَلُّ السَّرَاوِيلِ“، پاجامہ کو تر کرنا ہے، اور متصوفین اس کے استحباب کے قائل ہیں اور اس کا مقصد شبہات کو دور کرنا ہے، البتہ کتب فقہ میں اس مسئلہ کا نام نہیں پایا جاتا تو جس کو پیشاب کے قطرے نکلنے کا غالب گمان ہو، اس کی نماز باطل ہوگی۔ (عرف الشذی)12۔

Narrated by Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Jibril came to me and said, 'O Muhammad, when you perform wudu, sprinkle water.'” [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, who said: "This hadith is strange." I heard Muhammad—meaning al-Bukhari—say: "Al-Hasan ibn Ali al-Hashimi, the narrator, is considered weak in this narration."] Al-Taybi said: "Despite that, the weakness is not severe due to the multiple chains of transmission, so it can be used as evidence in matters of virtuous actions."

When they were afflicted with urine, they would cut it off with scissors, but the Prophet ﷺ prohibited them from doing so, and he was punished in his grave."

ف: بنی اسرائیل کی شریعت میں نجاست بدن یا کپڑے کو لگ جاتی تو یہ حکم تھا کہ جسم کے اتنے گوشت کو چھیل ڈالیں اور اتنے کپڑے کو کتر ڈالیں تو جس شخص کو ان کے اس حکم شریعت کے منع کرنے پر اگرچہ کہ اس میں عقل کے خلاف جان اور مال کا نقصان تھا، عذاب میں مبتلا کیا گیا۔ تو شرم و حیا کی وجہ سے آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ڈھال کو سامنے رکھ کر ستر پوشی فرمائی تو اس کام سے منع کرنے اور مذاق اڑانے پر ایسا شخص بطریق اولیٰ لائق عذاب ہوگا کیونکہ پردہ اور حیا تو شریعت اور عقل دونوں حیثیت سے اچھی چیز ہیں۔12

Hadith 384

English

Narrated by Umar: The Prophet ﷺ saw me urinating while standing, and said, "O Umar, do not urinate while standing." After that, I never urinated standing again. 1 [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah] The Sheikh Imam Muhyi al-Sunna said: It has been authentically reported from Hudhayfa that the Prophet ﷺ urinated while standing at the refuse of a people. [Agreed upon] ] Imam Abu Hanifa also narrated a similar incident from him. It is said that this was due to a valid excuse.

urinating standing

(1) The statement "urinating standing" – The scholars state that it is disliked to urinate while standing unless there is a valid excuse. This dislike is considered to be of a discouraging nature, not a prohibition. As for the incident of the Prophet ﷺ urinating while standing at the refuse near the houses, Iyaad mentioned that it may have been due to a prolonged sitting session, which made him unable to move away for privacy. Alternatively, it could have been because of an injury to his inner knee (al-ma'baad) or due to pain in his lower back, as Arabs would use such actions for healing. Another reason could be that there was no place for him to sit, or that he did it to show that it was permissible. The full explanation is found in the book al-Diya (a commentary on legal matters), as stated in Radd al-Muhtar (a classical work of Islamic jurisprudence).

ف: علماء نے کہا ہے کہ بلا عذر کھڑے ہو کر پیشاب کرنا مکروہ تنزیہی ہے، مکروہ تحریمی نہیں ہے، عیاض نے کہا ہے کہ آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا گھروں کے قریب گھور پر کھڑے ہو کر پیشاب کرنے کی یہ وجہ ہو سکتی ہے کہ آپ کی تشریف فرمائی دیر تک رہی اور پیشاب کا تقاضا شدید تھا، دور جانے کا موقع نہ تھا یا اس کی وجہ یہ تھی کہ آپ کے گھٹنے کے پچھلے حصے میں درد تھا یا پشت میں درد ہونے کی وجہ سے آپ نے کھڑے ہو کر پیشاب کیا، عرب لوگ اس کا علاج اس طرح کیا کرتے تھے، یا وہاں بیٹھنے کے لئے جگہ نہ تھی یا آپ نے بیان جواز کے لئے ایسا کیا ہے۔ (یہ مضمون رد المحتار سے ماخوذ ہے۔)12

Volume 1

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) urinated, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood behind him with a container of water. He said: "What is this, O Umar?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "It is water for you to perform ablution." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I was not commanded to perform ablution every time I urinate, and if I did, it would become a Sunnah."
