باب التَّسَتُّرِ عِنْدَ الْحَاجَةِ:Chapter: Concealing Oneself When Relieving Oneself
Hadith 685
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَوْرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخَيْرُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَنْ اكْتَحَلَ فَلْيُوتِرْ، مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا، فَلَا حَرَجَ، مَنْ اسْتَجْمَرَ، فَلْيُوتِرْ، مَنْ فَعَلَ، فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا، فَلَا حَرَجَ، مَنْ أَكَلَ فَلْيَتَخَلَّلْ، فَمَا تَخَلَّلَ، فَلْيَلْفِظْ، وَمَا لَاكَ بِلِسَانِهِ، فَلْيَبْتَلِعْ، مَنْ أَتَى الْغَائِطَ، فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِلَّا كَثِيبَ رَمْلٍ، فَلْيَسْتَدْبِرْهُ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ يَتَلَاعَبُونَ بِمَقَاعِدِ بَنِي آدَمَ، مَنْ فَعَلَ، فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا، فَلَا حَرَجَ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever applies kohl should do so an odd number of times; if he does, it is better, and if he does not, there is no harm. And whoever performs istinja with stones should do so an odd number of times; if he does, it is better, and if he does not, there is no harm. And whoever eats food should use a toothpick, and if something comes out from the toothpick, he should throw it away, and if it sticks to his tongue, he should swallow it; if he does so, it is better, and if he does not, there is no harm. And whoever goes to relieve himself should conceal himself; if there is nothing to conceal him except a heap of sand, then he should sit behind it, because the devils play with a man's private parts. Whoever does so, it is better, and if he does not, there is no harm."
