Narrated AbusSamh: 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.
The main idea behind this hadith is that Muslims must maintain cleanliness and hygiene at all times according to Islamic teachings which includes washing away any traces of female's urine but sprinkling away any traces of male's urine instead due its lesser impurity compared with female's urines according to Islamic teachings on purity and cleanliness . This hadith also teaches us about modesty as well since it shows how much importance the Prophet ﷺ placed on maintaining privacy even when performing basic acts such as washing oneself or cleaning up after someone else has urinated .
