ahmad:19714Wakīʿ > Shuʿbah > Abū al-Tayyāḥ al-Ḍubaʿī

[Machine] I heard a man describing that he used to be with Ibn Abbas. He said Abu Musa wrote to Ibn Abbas, saying, "You are a man of your time, and indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When one of the Children of Israel was afflicted with urine, he would clean it with a handful of dust.' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a soft place (to urinate) and urinated on it, and said, 'When anyone of you urinates, let him cover it with dust.'"  

أحمد:١٩٧١٤حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ الضُّبَعِيِّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا وَصَفَهُ كَانَ يَكُونُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَكَتَبَ أَبُو مُوسَى إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ زَمَانِكَ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ إِذَا أَصَابَهُ الشَّيْءُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ قَرَضَهُ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى دَمْثٍ يَعْنِي مَكَانًا لَيِّنًا فَبَالَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ إِذَا بَالَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرْتَدْ لِبَوْلِهِ
