Sunan Ibn Majah 351 (Book 1, Hadith 85) #29703
Greeting Etiquette During Urination

SUMMARY: A man greeted the Prophet while he was urinating, but the Prophet did not return the greeting. After he finished, he performed Tayammum and then returned the greeting.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A man passed by the Prophet while he was urinating, and greeted him with the Salam, but he did not return the greeting. While he finished, he struck the ground with his palms and did dry ablution (Tayammum), then he returned the greeting".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عُلَىٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ وَهُوَ يَبُولُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ ضَرَبَ بِكَفَّيْهِ الأَرْضَ فَتَيَمَّمَ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about proper etiquette when it comes to greeting someone who is in a state of ritual impurity. In this case, it was narrated that a man passed by the Prophet while he was urinating and greeted him with salam, but the Prophet did not return his greeting until after he had finished and performed dry ablution or tayammum. This shows us that we should be mindful of our actions when we are in a state of ritual impurity and refrain from returning greetings until we have purified ourselves according to Islamic law. It also teaches us that even though we may be in an unclean state, it is still important to show respect for others by returning their greetings once we have purified ourselves.
