مَنْ يُكَنَّى أَبَا السَّمْحِ أَبُو السَّمْحِ خَادِمُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

[Machine] I used to serve the Prophet ﷺ , so whenever he wanted to perform ablution he would say, "Bring me water." I would bring him water in a container and he would call for either Hasan or Husayn, and they would urinate on his chest. Then I would wash him and he would say, "The urine of a girl is to be washed, while the urine of a boy is to be sprinkled."  

الطبراني:١٩٢٥٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ ثنا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ح وحَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ هَارُونَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ ثنا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَا ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحِلُّ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو السَّمْحِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَكَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ قَالَ «وَلِّنِي» فَأُوَلِّيهِ قَفَاي فَأُتِيَ بِحَسَنٍ أَوْ حُسَيْنٍ فَبَالَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَجِئْتُ أَغْسِلُهُ فَقَالَ «يُغْسَلُ بَوْلُ الْجَارِيَةِ وَيُرَشُّ بَوْلُ الْغُلَامِ»

I used to serve the Prophet ﷺ. Whenever he intended to wash himself, he would say: Turn your back towards me, So I would turn my back and hide him. (Once) Hasan or Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them) was brought to him and he passed water on his chest. I came to wash it. He said: It is only the urine of a female which should be washed; the urine of a male should be sprinkled over. 'Abbas (a narrator) said: Yahya b. al-Walid narrated the tradition to us. Abu Dawud said: He (Yahya) is Abu al-Za'ra'. Harun b. Tamim said on the authority of al-Hasan: All sorts of urine are equal.

"I was a servant of the Prophet, and Hasan and Husain was brought to him and (the infant) urinated on his chest. They wanted to wash it, but the Messenger of Allah said: 'Sprinkle water on it, for the urine of a girl should be washed, but the urine of a boy should be sprinkled over with water.'"

[Machine] I used to serve the Prophet ﷺ , so whenever he wanted to perform ablution, he would say, "Bring me my qutwa (a container for water) so that I may pour water over my body." Then I would bring it to him and cover him with a cloth. Then he would call for Hasan or Husain (his grandsons), and they would sit on his lap. I would then wash him while he said, "Wash him from the urine of the little girl and sprinkle him with the urine of the little boy." Abu Dawood said, "This refers to Abu al-Zar'a, which means Yahya bin al-Walid. Ahmad bin Hanbal narrated this from Abdur Rahman bin Mahdi, and he said in the Hadith, "Sprinkle him with urine."
