أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَطْمِيُّ عُمَيْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، وَعُمَارَةُ بْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَادٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ ، وَكَانَ " إِذَا أَرَادَ الْحَاجَةَ أَبْعَدَ " .
´It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Qurad said:` "I went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to an isolated area, and when he wanted to relieve himself he moved far away."

Benefits:

These hadiths mention the etiquettes of relieving oneself, that when in an open place, one should go so far that he becomes hidden from the sight of people. Or, if there are low-lying places where some cover is available, then relieving oneself in such places is also permissible, even if they are near inhabited areas. Similarly, it is also permissible to relieve oneself in a restroom (toilet), or by using a cloth or similar means as a screen. The requirement in relieving oneself is to cover the private parts (awrah); wherever and however this covering is achieved, relieving oneself is permissible and correct.
