ahmad:23422Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Manṣūr > Abū Wāʾil

[Machine] Abu Musa used to struggle with urinating. He said, "When the children of Israel would face difficulty in urinating, they would use two small stones to wash themselves." Hudhaifa said, "I wish he wouldn't struggle. I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ come or walk to the outskirts of a people's land while he was standing."  

أحمد:٢٣٤٢٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ يُحَدِّثُ

أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى كَانَ يُشَدِّدُ فِي الْبَوْلِ قَالَ كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْبَوْلُ يُتْبِعُهُ بِالْمِقْرَاضَيْنِ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يُشَدِّدُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى أَوْ قَالَ مَشَى إِلَى سُبَاطَةِ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ

Abu Musa Al-Ashʿari used to lay great stress on the question of urination and he used to say, "If anyone from Bani Israel happened to soil his clothes with urine, he used to cut that portion away." Hearing that, Hudhaifa said to Abu Wail, "I wish he (Abu Musa) didn't (lay great stress on that matter)." Hudhaifa added, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to the dumps of some people and urinated while standing."  

البخاري:٢٢٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ

كَانَ أَبُو مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيُّ يُشَدِّدُ فِي الْبَوْلِ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَ أَحَدِهِمْ قَرَضَهُ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ لَيْتَهُ أَمْسَكَ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ قَائِمًا

[Machine] Abu Musa used to urinate in a bottle and say, "When one of the children of Israel used to experience the need to urinate, he would dig a hole and urinate in it." Hudhaifah said, "I wish that your companion would not enforce this strictness. I have seen myself following the Prophet ﷺ until we reached a place called Subata, and he stood up to urinate just as any of you would. So I moved away from him, and he said, 'Come closer.'" So I approached him until I was by his side.  

أحمد:٢٣٢٤٨حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ بَلَغَهُ

أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى كَانَ يَبُولُ فِي قَارُورَةٍ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْبَوْلُ قَرَضَ مَكَانَهُ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ لَا يُشَدِّدُ هَذَا التَّشْدِيدَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي نَتَمَاشَى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى سُبَاطَةٍ فَقَامَ يَبُولُ كَمَا يَبُولُ أَحَدُكُمْ فَذَهَبْتُ أَتَنَحَّى عَنْهُ فَقَالَ ادْنُهْ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبِهِ
