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 performed Hajj and used to pray with his companions, calling the Adhan and giving the Iqamah. On a certain day, he established the prayer and said to his companions, 'Let one of you lead the prayer, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'When one of you intends to go to relieve himself and the prayer has been established, then he should go to relieve himself.'"  

أَنَّهُ حَجَّ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي بِأَصْحَابِهِ يُؤَذِّنُ وَيُقِيمُ فَأَقَامَ يَوْمًا الصَّلَاةَ وَقَالَ لِيُصَلِّ أَحَدُكُمْ فَإِنِّي 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»
