أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، أنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أنا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى سُبَاطَةِ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ قَائِمًا، فَتَنَحَّيْتُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: " ادْنُهْ ". فَدَنَوْتُ، ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ. مُخَرَّجٌ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَعْمَشِ.
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at the rubbish heap of some people, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated while standing. I moved away from him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come close." So I came close; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and wiped over his leather socks.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ قَطَنٍ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، نا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانَ، قَالَ: " لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَتَمَاشَى، فَأَتَى سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ خَلْفَ الْحَائِطِ فَبَالَ كَمَا يَقُومُ أَحَدُكُمْ. قَالَ: فَانْتَبَذْتُ مِنْهُ، فَأَشَارَ إِلِيَّ فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ.
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and I were walking together, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) came behind the rubbish heap of some people and urinated in the way that one of you stands. The narrator said: I moved back, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) signalled to me, so I stood behind him (peace and blessings be upon him) until he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاودَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ يحَدِّثُ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ قَائِمًا، فَلَقِيتُ مَنْصُورًا فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَحَدَّثَنِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ قَائِمًا ". كَذَا رَوَاهُ عَاصِمُ ابْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ، وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ. وَالصَّحِيحُ مَا رَوَى مَنْصُورٌ وَالْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، كَذَا قَالَهُ أَبُو عِيسَى التِّرْمِذِيُّ، وَجَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي الْعِلَّةِ فِي بَوْلِهِ قَائِمًا حَدِيثٌ لَا يَثْبُتْ مِثْلُهُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the rubbish heap of some people, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated while standing. I met Mansur and asked him about it, and he narrated to me, from Abu Wa'il, the hadith of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the rubbish heap of some people and he (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated while standing.
Asim bin Bahdalah and Hammad bin Abi Sulayman narrated it this way, from Abu Wa'il from al-Mughirah, but the correct version is what Mansur and al-A'mash narrated from Abu Wa'il from Hudhayfah; Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi and a group of the hadith masters said so. A hadith has been narrated about the reason for his (peace and blessings be upon him) urinating while standing, the like of which is not established.

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو سَهْلٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمِهْرَانِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْمُذَكِّرُ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَاهَانَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ الْكَرَابِيسِيُّ، وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ مُوسَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ بِهَمْدَانَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَاهَانَ الْكَرَابِيسِيُّ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ غَسَّانَ الْجُعْفِيُّ، ثنا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، نا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، " بَالَ قَائِمًا مِنْ جُرْحٍ كَانَ بِمَأْبِضِهِ " قَالَ الْإِمَامُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى: وَقَدْ قِيلَ: كَانَتِ الْعَرَبُ تَسْتَشْفِي لِوَجَعِ الصُّلْبِ بِالْبَوْلِ قَائِمًا، فَلَعَلَّهُ كَانَ بِهِ إِذْ ذَاكَ وَجَعُ الصُّلْبِ. وَقَدْ ذَكَرَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بِمَعْنَاهُ، وَقِيلَ: إِنَّمَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ لِلْقُعُودِ مَكَانًا أَوْ مَوْضِعًا، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated while standing because of a wound that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had in his knees.
(b) Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: One view is that the Arabs used to urinate standing to seek a cure for back pain, so it is possible that he (peace and blessings be upon him) also had this pain. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) has given the same meaning. Another view is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) did so because there was no place there to sit. And Allah knows best.
