أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ، نا صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنٍ لَهَا قَدْ عَلَّقَتْ عَلَيْهِ عَلَاقَاتٍ تَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بِهِ الْعُذْرَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((عَلَامَ تَدْغَرُونَ أَوْلَادَكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْعَلَائِقِ , عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ)) ، فَنَاوَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنُهَا، فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ، فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَصَبَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ نَضَحَهُ قَالَ: فَمَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ بِنَضْحِ بَوْلِ مَا لَا يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَغَسْلِ بَوْلِ مَا يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ قَالَ النَّضْرُ: وَالْعُذْرَةُ: رِيحٌ يَكُونُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَيَدْغَرُونَ هُوَ عَمْدًا نَلْهَاهُ.
Narrated from Sayyida Umm Qais bint Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with her) that she brought her son to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I pressed his throat with my finger out of fear of a throat disease, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Why do you press your children's throats with your finger like this? You should use this Indian wood (costus)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took her son, and he urinated on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for water and poured it over it or sprinkled it on it. The narrator said: Thus, this method became established that if a child does not eat food, water will be sprinkled on his urine, and if he eats food, his urine will be washed.
