Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ibn 'Ulayyah says that I asked Ibn Abi Najih about a person who enters the toilet carrying white dirhams (silver coins), so he replied that Hazrat Mujahid considered it disliked.

Hazrat Hisham states that Hasan did not consider it objectionable for a person to enter the toilet with silver coins. In those times, Allah’s name or a Qur’anic verse used to be inscribed on dirhams, which is why the scholars considered it disliked to take them into the toilet. Qasim bin Muhammad considered taking them into the toilet to be disliked, but did not see any objection in buying and selling with them.

When Hazrat Muhammad bin Abdur Rahman needed to go to the toilet and had white dirhams with him, he would hand them to someone who would hold them until he performed ablution.

Hazrat Mughira says that I asked Ibrahim, "A man is urinating but he also has white dirhams with him, what is the ruling about this?" He replied, "It is also necessary for people to safeguard their wealth."

Ibrahim says that I like that during relieving oneself, dirhams should be in a pouch or in my pocket.
