Cleanliness and Hygiene in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet demonstrated the importance of cleanliness and hygiene by cleaning himself with water from a pot made of brass and wiping his hands on the ground.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that: The Prophet relieved himself, then he cleaned himself (with water) from a pot made of brass, then he wiped his hand on the ground. Another chain with similar wording.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَنْجَى مِنْ تَوْرٍ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، نَحْوَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith demonstrates the importance of cleanliness and hygiene in Islam. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet relieved himself, then he cleaned himself with water from a pot made of brass, then he wiped his hand on the ground. This hadith shows us that it is important to keep ourselves clean at all times, even after using the restroom. We should use water to wash our hands before eating or doing any other activity. Additionally, we should also be mindful about where we wipe our hands after washing them; it is best to avoid wiping them on dirt or soil as this can spread germs and bacteria which can cause illnesses. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about being mindful of our environment; instead of throwing away used items such as pots made out of brass, we should reuse them for other purposes such as cleaning ourselves after using the restroom.
