بَابٌ فِي التَّبَاعُدِ وَالِاسْتِثَارِ عِنْدَ التَّخَلِّي فِي الْفَضَاءِ وَالْكَفِّ عَنِ الْكَلَامِ وَرَدِّ السَّلَامِChapter on Keeping Distance and Concealment When Relieving Oneself in the Open, and Refraining from Speech and Responding to Greetings
Hadith 493
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ أَتَى الْغَائِطَ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِلَّا أَنْ يَجْمَعَ كَثِيبًا مِنْ رَمْلٍ فَلْيَسْتَدْبِرْهُ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِمَقَاعِدِ بَنِي آدَمَ، مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever comes to relieve himself should conceal himself, and if he does not find anything (to conceal with), he should gather a heap of sand and turn his back towards it, because Satan plays with the backsides of the children of Adam." Whoever does so has done well, and whoever does not, there is no harm upon him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This narration is indeed weak, but one should take care to go far from people and maintain privacy when relieving oneself.
