Sunan Abi Dawud 23 (Book 1, Hadith 23) #20314
Proper Etiquette When Urinating in Public

SUMMARY: The Prophet (peace be upon him) demonstrated proper etiquette when urinating in public.

Narrated Hudhaifah : The Apostle of Allaah ( sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam ) came to a midden of some people and urinated while standing. He then asked for water and wiped his shoes. Abu Dawud said: Musaddad, a narrator, reported: I went far away from him. He then called me and I reached just near his heals.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، - وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَفْصٍ - عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ أَتَبَاعَدُ فَدَعَانِي حَتَّى كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Hudhaifah and Musaddad tells us about the proper etiquette that should be followed when urinating in public. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ demonstrated this etiquette by standing while urinating, asking for water to wipe his shoes afterwards, and then calling Musaddad near his heels after he had gone away from him. This teaches us that we should always maintain a sense of modesty and respect even when performing basic bodily functions such as urination. We should also take care to ensure that our actions do not cause any harm or discomfort to those around us.

The Prophet ﷺ was an example of perfect manners and conduct for all Muslims to follow, so it is important for us to remember this hadith whenever we find ourselves in a situation where we need to use the restroom in public. We must strive to uphold the same level of respect and modesty as the Prophet ﷺ did whenever we are out in public or interacting with others.
