ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَعْمَشُ

Abu Musa inflicted extreme rigour upon himself in the matter of urination and urinated in a bottle and said: When the skin of anyone amongst the people of Israel was besmeared with urine, he cut that portion with a cutter. Hudhaifa said: I wish that'your friend should not inflict such an extreme rigour. I and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were going together till we reached the dumping ground of filth behind an enclosure. He stood up as one among you would stand up. and he urinated, I tried to turn away from him, but he beckoned to me, so I went to him and I stood behind him, till he had relieved himself.  

كَانَ أَبُو مُوسَى يُشَدِّدُ فِي الْبَوْلِ وَيَبُولُ فِي قَارُورَةٍ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَ جِلْدَ أَحَدِهِمْ بَوْلٌ قَرَضَهُ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ لاَ يُشَدِّدُ هَذَا التَّشْدِيدَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَتَمَاشَى فَأَتَى سُبَاطَةً خَلْفَ حَائِطٍ فَقَامَ كَمَا يَقُومُ أَحَدُكُمْ فَبَالَ فَانْتَبَذْتُ مِنْهُ فَأَشَارَ إِلَىَّ فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ  

[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.  

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  

The Prophet ﷺ and I walked till we reached the dumps of some people. He stood, as any one of you stands, behind a wall and urinated. I went away, but he beckoned me to come. So I approached him and stood near his back till he finished. (Using translation from Bukhārī 225)   

لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَتَمَاشَى فَأَتَى سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ خَلْفَ الْحَائِطِ فَبَالَ كَمَا يَقُومُ أَحَدُكُمْ قَالَ فَانْتَبَذْتُ مِنْهُ فَأَشَارَ إِلِيَّ فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ
