اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُعَاذٌ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((لَا يَبُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْجُحْرِ، وَإِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوا السِّرَاجَ، فَإِنَّ الْفَأْرَةَ تَأْخُذُ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَتَحْرِقُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَأَوْكِئُوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ وَخَمِّرُوا الشَّرَابَ وَغَلِّقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ بِاللَّيْلِ)) قَالُوا لِقَتَادَةَ: مَا يَكْرَهُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ فِي الْجُحْرِ؟ قَالَ: يُقَالُ: إِنَّهَا مَسَاكِنُ الْجِنِّ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No person should ever urinate in a hole, and when you go to sleep, extinguish the lamp, for a mouse may drag its wick and burn the people of the house. Tie the mouths of the water-skins, cover the vessels, and close the doors at night." People asked Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him): "Why is urinating in a hole disliked?" He said: "It is said that these are the dwellings of the jinn."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Urinating in a hole is prohibited. One reason for this has been stated by Qatadah, but the following two reasons seem more appropriate: ➊ A snake, scorpion, or some other creature may come out of that hole and harm the person. ➋ The animal present in that hole may not be caused any distress.
