Sahih Muslim 271a (Book 2, Hadith 87) #7791
Cleanliness in the Toilet

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would cleanse himself with water when entering the privy.

Anas b. Malik reported: When the Messenger of Allah entered the privy, a servant and I used to carry a skin of water, and a pointed staff, and he would cleanse himself with water.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَغُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَدْخُلُ الْخَلاَءَ فَأَحْمِلُ أَنَا وَغُلاَمٌ نَحْوِي إِدَاوَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ وَعَنَزَةً فَيَسْتَنْجِي بِالْمَاءِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be mindful of your hygiene & cleanliness at all times

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his exemplary character and behavior, and this hadith is a testament to that. It is reported that when he entered the privy, a servant and Anas b. Malik used to carry a skin of water, and a pointed staff for him to cleanse himself with water before leaving the toilet. This shows us how important it was for him to maintain cleanliness even in such private moments, which serves as an example for us all on how we should strive to be mindful of our hygiene at all times. Furthermore, it also teaches us about being considerate towards others; even though no one else was present in the toilet with him, he still took care not to leave any mess behind out of respect for those who may use it after him.
