70 — Musaddad narrated to us, Yahya narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn 'Ajlan, who said: I heard my father narrating.

================================

It was also recorded by Muslim (282) (95) via the route of Hisham ibn Hassan, and by al-Nasa'i in *al-Kubra* (55) via the route of 'Awf ibn Abi Jamilah, and (57) via the route of Yahya ibn Abi 'Atiq — all three of them from Muhammad ibn Sirin, with this chain of transmission.

It was also recorded by al-Nasa'i in *al-Mujtaba* (400) via the route of Sufyan, from Ayyub, from Muhammad ibn Sirin, from Abu Hurayrah as a *mawquf* (stopped at the Companion) report. Sufyan said: They said to Hisham: "Ayyub only ends this hadith at Abu Hurayrah." He replied: "If Ayyub were able not to raise any hadith [to the Prophet], he would not raise it."

It was also recorded by al-Bukhari (239), Muslim (282) (96), al-Tirmidhi (68), and al-Nasa'i in *al-Mujtaba* (57), (221), (397), (398), and (399) via multiple routes from Abu Hurayrah as a *marfu'* (raised to the Prophet) report. Al-Tirmidhi's wording is: "Then let him perform ablution with it."

It is also in *Musnad Ahmad* (7525) and *Sahih Ibn Hibban* (1251).

Muslim (283), al-Nasa'i in *al-Mujtaba* (220), (331), and (396), and Ibn Majah (605) also recorded via the route of Abu al-Sa'ib, the freed slave of Hisham ibn Zuhrah, from Abu Hurayrah, raising it to the Prophet: "Let none of you bathe in standing water while in a state of major impurity (junub)." He [the narrator] said: "How should he do it, O Abu Hurayrah?" He said: "He should take from it by scooping." And *al-da'im* means the still water.

See also what follows.

His statement: "Then let him bathe from it" — the reading is *yagh tasilu* with a *damah* (raised), meaning: "Do not urinate, then you bathe from it." It is also permissible to read it with a *jazm* (sukūn): "then he bathes" as a coordinate clause on the position of *yabūlunna*. This was noted by al-Nawawi in *Sharh Muslim* 3/160.

Imam al-Nawawi held the opinion that urinating in standing water is prohibited, because it makes it impure, destroys its value, and deceives others into using it. He transmitted from his fellow Shafi'i scholars and others that defecating in water is like urinating in it and worse. Likewise, if one urinates in a vessel and then pours it into the water, and likewise if one urinates near a river such that the urine flows into it — all of that is blameworthy, ugly, and prohibited.

The scholars said: It is disliked to urinate or defecate near water even if it does not reach it, due to the general prohibition of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, against relieving oneself at water sources, and because of the harm it causes to those who pass by the water, and because of the fear that it may reach the water.
