Sunan Ibn Majah 526 (Book 1, Hadith 260) #29878
Cleanliness and Respect for Boys and Girls

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

Abu Samh said: "I was a servant of the Prophet, and Hasan and Husain was brought to him and (the infant) urinated on his chest. They wanted to wash it, but the Messenger of Allah said: 'Sprinkle water on it, for the urine of a girl should be washed, but the urine of a boy should be sprinkled over with water'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحِلُّ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو السَّمْحِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ خَادِمَ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ فَجِيءَ بِالْحَسَنِ أَوِ الْحُسَيْنِ فَبَالَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يَغْسِلُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ رُشَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُغْسَلُ بَوْلُ الْجَارِيَةِ وَيُرَشُّ عَلَى بَوْلِ الْغُلاَمِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about cleanliness and respect for boys and girls. It was narrated by Abu Samh, who was a servant of the Prophet Muhammad. In this hadith, Hasan and Husain were brought to him, and Husain urinated on his chest. People wanted to wash it off but the Prophet said to sprinkle water on it instead because it was from a boy. He said that the urine of a girl should be washed off but not so for boys. This teaches us that we must show respect towards both genders equally; boys do not need to be treated any differently than girls when it comes to cleanliness or respect. We must also remember that cleanliness is important in Islam; we must strive to keep ourselves as well as our environment clean at all times in order to please Allah SWT.
