Abd al-Razzaq said: Ahmad said: Ma'mar narrated to us, Ash'ath informed me. And al-Hasan said: from Ash'ath ibn 'Abd Allah, from al-Hasan, from 'Abd Allah ibn Mughaffal, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Let none of you urinate in his bathing place, then perform a major ablution (ghusl) in it" — Ahmad said: "then perform ablution (wudu') in it — "for most of the whispering (waswasah) comes from that."

(1) Authentic by virtue of corroborating evidence, except for his statement: "for most of the whispering comes from that," for it is a stopped (mawquf) report. This chain's narrators are trustworthy, except that al-Hasan al-Basri did not explicitly state that he heard it from 'Abd Allah ibn Mughaffal.

It is in the Musnad of Ahmad (20569), and the Musannaf of 'Abd al-Razzaq (978), and from the path of 'Abd al-Razzaq it was narrated by Ibn Majah (304).

It was also narrated by al-Tirmidhi (21), and al-Nasa'i in al-Kubra (33) from the path of 'Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak, from Ma'mar, with it.

It is also in the Musnad of Ahmad (20569), and Sahih Ibn Hibban (1255). See the takhrij of the mawquf narration in al-Musnad.

For the prohibition of urinating in the bathing place, there is a supporting witness from the hadith of a man who accompanied the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, which follows after this one.

And another from the hadith of 'Abd Allah ibn Yazid, recorded by al-Tabarani in al-Awsat (2077), and al-Mundhiri in al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib 1/136 and al-Haythami in Majma' al-Zawa'id 1/204 declared its chain hasan.

Al-Khattabi said: al-mustahamm is the place of bathing (al-mughtasal), and it is called mustahamm after al-hamim, which is hot water.

Ibn Sayyid al-Nas said in his commentary on al-Tirmidhi, folio (62): The scholars said: It was only prohibited when there is no channel through which the urine can flow away, or if the place is hard, so that he imagines that some of its splash has touched him, and thus whispering (waswasah) afflicts him. But if he does not fear that — such as if there is an outlet or otherwise — then there is no disapproval. Ibn al-Mubarak said: It has been made permissible to urinate in the bathing place when water flows through it.

(2) Ibn al-A'rabi added in his narration after this hadith: And Shu'bah and Sa'id narrated from Qatadah, from 'Uqbah ibn Suhban: I heard 'Abd Allah ibn Mughaffal say: Urinating in the bathing place takes from it =
