Sunan an-Nasai 238 (Book 1, Hadith 239) #14845
Prohibitions on Grooming and Cleanliness

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) forbade people from combing their hair every day, urinating in the place where they perform Ghusl, and using leftover water of the opposite gender for Ghusl.

It was narrated that Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman said: "I met a man who accompanied the Prophet as Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), accompanied him for four years. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah forbade any one of us to comb his hair each day,1 or to urinate in the place where he performs Ghusl, or for a man to perform Ghusl using the leftover water of a women, or a woman to perform Ghusl using the leftover water of a man - they should scoop it out together'." 1 It is said this is to prevent him from making his physical appearance his main aim.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ الأَوْدِيِّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ لَقِيتُ رَجُلاً صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ كَمَا صَحِبَهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - أَرْبَعَ سِنِينَ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَمْتَشِطَ أَحَدُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَوْ يَبُولَ فِي مُغْتَسَلِهِ أَوْ يَغْتَسِلَ الرَّجُلُ بِفَضْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْمَرْأَةُ بِفَضْلِ الرَّجُلِ وَلْيَغْتَرِفَا جَمِيعًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of cleanliness and grooming according to Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prohibited people from combing their hair every day, urinating in the place where they perform Ghusl, and using leftover water of the opposite gender for Ghusl. It is said that this prohibition is to prevent people from making physical appearance their main aim. Islam emphasizes on cleanliness both inside out; it teaches us to take care of our physical appearance but not make it our main focus or goal in life. We should also be mindful when performing ablution or taking a bath as we should not use leftover water used by someone else especially if it belongs to someone of the opposite gender as this can lead to impurity or contamination.
