17 — Chapter: What has been reported regarding the disapproval of urinating in the place of bathing (al-mughtasal)

21 — ʿAlī ibn Ḥujr and Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Mūsā narrated to us, both saying: ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak informed us, from Maʿmar, from Ashʿath, from al-Ḥasan, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mughaffal: that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade a man from urinating in his bathing place, and said: "Indeed, most of the whisperings (al-waswas) come from that."

Regarding this chapter, there is also a report from a man among the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

= When he wanted to urinate, he came to firm ground of the earth (i.e., hard and rough), took a stick, and poked at it with it until it became soft soil (i.e., became dust), then he urinated. This is mursal, and Ṭalḥah ibn Abī Qanān was not declared trustworthy by anyone other than Ibn Ḥibbān, and the rest of the narrators in the chain are trustworthy.

Aḥmad (19537) and Abū Dāwūd in his "Sunan" (3) also narrated, with a chain containing an unknown narrator, from Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī, who said: I was with the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, one day, and he wanted to urinate. He came to soft ground (i.e., smooth and yielding) at the base of a wall and urinated, then said: "When one of you wants to urinate, let him seek out a suitable place for his urine."

His saying "let him seek out a suitable place for his urine" — it was said in "al-Nihāyah": i.e., let him seek for his urine a soft place, so that the spray of his urine does not splash back upon him.

(1) In (B) and (Ẓ): Chapter on the disapproval of urinating in the place of bathing.
(2) Its narrators are trustworthy, except that al-Ḥasan — namely al-Baṣrī — was a mudallis, and his hearing from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Mughaffal is not explicitly confirmed. The first part of his ḥadīth, namely the prohibition of a man urinating in his bathing place, is ṣaḥīḥ marfūʿ from another chain, while the second part is ṣaḥīḥ mawqūf.
As for the ḥadīth of Maʿmar from Ashʿath, it was narrated by Abū Dāwūd (27), Ibn Mājah (304), and al-Nasāʾī 1/34. It is in "al-Musnad" (20563) and "Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān" (1255).
(3) It was narrated by Abū Dāwūd (28) and al-Nasāʾī 1/130 with a ṣaḥīḥ chain, and its wording is: he forbade =
