Hadith 309
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ :" نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَبُولَ قَائِمًا " ، سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ فِي حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ : " أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَبُولُ قَاعِدًا " ، قَالَ : الرَّجُلُ أَعْلَمُ بِهَذَا مِنْهَا ، قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : وَكَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِ الْعَرَبِ الْبَوْلُ قَائِمًا ، أَلَا تَرَاهُ فِي حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنِ حَسَنَةَ ، يَقُولُ : " قَعَدَ يَبُولُ كَمَا تَبُولُ الْمَرْأَةُ " .
´It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said:` "The Messenger of Allah forbade us to urinate while standing." (Da'if) I heard Muhammed bin Yazid, Abu 'Abdullah, say: "I heard Ahmad bin 'Abdur-Rahman Al-Makhzumi say: 'Sufyan Ath-Thawri said concerning the Hadith of 'Aisha- 'I (always) saw him urinating whilst sitting down' - a man knows more about that (about such matters) than she.' Ahmad bin 'Abdur-Rahman said: 'It was the custom of the Arabs to urinate standing up. Do you not see that in the Hadith of 'Abdur-Rahman bin Hasanah it was said: 'He sits down to urinate as a woman does.'"

Commentary:
Narrations 308 and 309 are both weak in their chains of transmission, therefore they are not authoritative and do not establish a prohibition against urinating while standing. However, the general practice of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was to urinate while sitting, so this should also be the regular practice of every Muslim.
The fundamental and important issue is to protect oneself from urine splashes; there is no room for negligence in this matter because a severe warning has been mentioned regarding it.
