Arabic text

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى سُبَاطَةِ قَوْمٍ، فَبَالَ قَائِمًا، فَتَنَحَّيْتُ فَقَالَ: «ادْنُهْ» فَدَنَوْتُ حَتَّى قُمْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبَيْهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ.

Translation

Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) when he arrived at the dump of some people and passed urine while standing. I stepped aside, but he said: "Draw near." So, I drew near until I stood behind his heels, and he performed ablution and wiped over his leather socks.

Explanation

Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamān (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reports that he was with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) who wanted to urinate and, thus, entered the dump of some people, i.e., a place where the garbage and the dust swept off homes are thrown. He passed urine while standing, although he would usually urinate while sitting. Hudhayfah moved away, but he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Come close, and Hudhayfah moved close until he was standing behind his heels to act as a barrier for him and let no one see him in such a state. Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) made ablution, and on reaching the point of washing the feet, he only wiped over both of his Khuffs - footwear made of soft leather and the like covering the heels—without taking them off.

Benefits

  • Permissibility of wiping over leather socks.
  • Permissibility of passing urine while standing provided that nothing thereof reaches him.
  • The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) chose the dump, i.e., the place where garbage and rubbish are collected, because it is usually easy to urinate there without being affected by the urine.
Explanation: العربية

يُخبِرُ حذيفةُ بن اليمان رضي الله عنهما أنه كان مع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأراد صلى الله عليه وسلم أن يَتبوَّل، فدخل سباطة قوم؛ وهي الموضع الذي يُلقى فيه القمامة والتراب الذي يكنس من المنازل، فتبول وهو واقف، وكان غالب عادته أن يبول قاعدًا. فتباعد عنه حذيفة، فقال له صلى الله عليه وسلم: اقترب، فاقترب حذيفة منه حتى قام خلفه عند مؤخر قدميه؛ ليكون كالسترة له عن النظر إليه في تلك الحالة. ثم توضأ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وعند غسل الرجلين، اكتفى بالمسح على خفيه -وهما ما يلبس في الرجل من جلد رقيق ونحوه ويكون ساترًا للكعبين- ولم يخلعهما.

  • مشروعية المسح على الخفين.
  • جواز البول قائمًا بشرط أن لا يصيبَه منه شيء.
  • اختيار النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم السباطة وهي مكان المزبلة والكناسة لأنها في الغالب سهلة لا يرتد فيها البول على البائل.
