❀ The Narrative:

It is also reported that among the polytheists tracking the Prophet (ﷺ), one of them began urinating directly in front of him inside the cave.

Abū Bakr (رضي الله عنه) asked:

“O Messenger of Allah! Can he not see us?”
The Prophet (ﷺ) replied:
“If he could see us, he would never be urinating naked in our direction.”

📌 Ḥadīth Authentication:

Its chain is weak (اسنادہ ضعیف).

[Majmaʿ al-Zawāʾid 6/54, Ḥadīth no. 9906]

Al-Haythamī states that Abū Yaʿlā narrated it.

◉ However, one of its narrators, Mūsā bin Muṭayyir, is abandoned (matrūk).
