ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ قَدْ يَكُونُ مِنْ تَرْكِ الِاسْتِبْرَاءِ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us with a small leather shield in his hand. He put it down, then he sat behind it and urinated toward it. Some of the people said: 'Look, he is urinating like a woman.' He heard that and said: 'Do you not know what happened to the companion of the Children of Israel? If they got any urine on themselves they would clip that part of their garments off. Their companion told them not to do that and he was punished in his grave.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 30)

AbdurRahman ibn Hasanah reported: I and Amr ibn al-'As went to the Prophet ﷺ. He came out with a leather shield (in his hand). He covered himself with it and urinated. Then we said: Look at him. He is urinating as a woman does. The Prophet ﷺ, heard this and said: Do you not know what befell a person from amongst Banu Isra'il (the children of Israel)? When urine fell on them, they would cut off the place where the urine fell; but he (that person) forbade them (to do so), and was punished in his grave. Abu Dawud said: One version of Abu Musa has the wording: "he cut off his skin". Another version of Abu Musa goes: "he cut off (part of) his body."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came out to us and he had a vessel or something similar with him, so he covered himself with it. He urinated while sitting. We said, "Does the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , urinate as a woman does?" He came before us and said, "Don't you know what befell a man from the Children of Israel? When some urine splashed on him, he cleaned it with soil. They were forbidden to do that, so he was punished in his grave."

[Machine] I and Amr ibn al-Aas went out and the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came out with a container of water or something like it, and he sat down and covered himself with it. While he was sitting, he started urinating. So, I said to my companion, "Look at the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , how he urinates like a woman while sitting?" So, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came to us and said, "Do you not know what happened to the people of Bani Israel when one of them had some urine drops on him? He was struck with a punishment in his grave."
