Urwah reported on the authority of his father that Abdullah ibn al-Arqam travelled for performing hajj (pilgrimage) or umrah. He was accompanied by the people whom he led in prayer. One day when he was leading them in the dawn (fajr) prayer, he said to them: One of you should come forward. He then went away to relieve himself. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When any of you feels the need of relieving himself while the congregational prayer is ready, he should go to relieve himself.  

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ حَاجًّا أَوْ مُعْتَمِرًا وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ وَهُوَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ صَلاَةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَتَقَدَّمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى الْخَلاَءِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ الْخَلاَءَ وَقَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْخَلاَءِ  

[Machine] "He left Mecca, and he used to lead them in prayer, call the adhan (call to prayer), and establish the prayers. A prayer was established one day, so he said to have one of them lead the prayer for them, for he had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'When one of you wants to go to the toilet and the prayer has been established, let him go to the toilet.'"  

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَكَانَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ وَيُؤَذِّنُ وَيُقِيمُ فَأَقَامَ يَوْمًا الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ لِيُصَلِّ بِكُمْ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْفَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيَذْهَبْ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ  

[Machine] He went out as a pilgrim or a performer of Umrah, with people accompanying him, and he was leading them. One day, after he performed the morning prayer, he said, "Let one of you proceed and go to the restroom." Then he said, "Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'When one of you wants to go to the restroom and the prayer has been established, they should start with the restroom.'"  

أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ حَاجًّا أَوْ مُعْتَمِرًا وَمَعَهُ النَّاسُ وَهُوَ يَؤُمُّهُمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَتَقَدَّمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَذَهَبَ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ وَقَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْخَلَاءِ»
