Sahih al-Bukhari 151 (Book 4, Hadith 17) #151
Accompanying the Prophet in Nature's Call

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was always accompanied by a young boy when he went to answer the call of nature, with a tumbler full of water.

Narrated Anas: Whenever Allah's Messenger went to answer the call of nature, I along with another boy from us used to go behind him with a tumbler full of water.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاذٍ ـ هُوَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا خَرَجَ لِحَاجَتِهِ تَبِعْتُهُ أَنَا وَغُلاَمٌ مِنَّا مَعَنَا إِدَاوَةٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ‏.‏
