حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّ
عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْأَرْقَمِ كَانَ يَؤُمُّ أَصْحَابَهُ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ يَوْمًا فَذَهَبَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِهِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) used to lead his people in prayer. One day, when the prayer was ready, he went to relieve himself, then returned and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When any of you intends to relieve himself, he should relieve himself first and then perform the prayer."
