Hadith 14
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، " أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ حَاجَةً لا يَرْفَعُ ثَوْبَهُ حَتَّى يَدْنُوَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ السَّلامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى الرَّمْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بِهِ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: When the Prophet ﷺ wanted to relieve himself, he would not raise his garment, until he lowered himself near the ground. Abu DAwud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Abd al-Salam bin Harb on the authority of al-Amash from Anas bin Malik. This chain of narrators is weak (because Amash's hearing tradition from Anas bin Malik is not established).

Benefits and Issues
This narration is weak; however, it is still better that a person should exercise utmost caution in avoiding nakedness (being unclothed) even in seclusion, because Allah Ta'ala is most deserving that one should feel modesty before Him.

English Translation:
1:
Here, by "mursal" what is meant is "munqati‘" (disconnected).
Its explanation has been given by Imam Tirmidhi rahimahullah himself, that Al-A‘mash did not hear from Anas radi Allahu anhu.
Generally, in technical terminology, "mursal" is:
A hadith in which, from the end of the chain, the narrator after the Tabi‘i is omitted.
Such a narration is weak because the continuity of the chain (ittisal al-isnad) is missing, which is an essential condition for a sahih (authentic) hadith.
Likewise, the omitted narrator is not identified,
and it is possible that he is someone other than a Companion (sahabi).
In this case, the likelihood of its weakness increases.
And "inqita‘" (disconnection) means that a narrator is missing in the chain.
