Sunan Ibn Majah 525 (Book 1, Hadith 259) #29877
Cleanliness for Baby Boys and Girls

SUMMARY: The Prophet taught that the urine of a baby boy should be sprinkled with water, while the urine of a baby girl should be washed.

It was narrated from 'Ali that : The Prophet said concerning the urine of a nursing infant: "Water should be sprinkled over the urine of a boy, and the urine of a girl should be washed". Abul-Hasan bin Salamah said: "Ahmad bin Musa bin Ma'qil narrated to us that Abul-Yaman Al-Misri said: 'I asked Shafi'i about the Hadith of the Prophet, "Water should be sprinkled over the urine of a baby boy, and the urine of a baby girl should be washed," when the two types of water (urine) are the same. He said, "This is because the urine of the boy is of water and clay, but the urine of the girl is of flesh and blood". Then he said to me: "Did you understand?" I said: "No". He said: "When Allah the Most High created Adam, He created Eve (Hawwa') from his short rib, so the boy's urine is from water and clay, and the girl's urine is from flesh and blood". Then he said to me: "Did you understand?" I said: "Yes". He said: "May Allah cause you benefit from this".

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow instructions given by Prophet regarding cleanliness for babies specifically boys & girls .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about cleanliness for babies, specifically boys and girls. The Prophet taught that when it comes to cleaning up after babies, there is a difference between boys and girls. For boys, their urine should be sprinkled with water whereas for girls their urine should be washed off completely with water. This is because when Allah created Adam He created Eve from his short rib so the boy's urine is from water and clay while the girl's urine is from flesh and blood which requires more thorough cleaning than just sprinkling with water. Therefore this hadith teaches us about cleanliness in regards to babies as well as how Allah has created different things differently even though they may appear similar on the surface level.
