Cleaning Nursing Infant Urine

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the proper way to clean a nursing infant's urine, depending on their gender.

It was narrated from 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) that The Messenger of Allah said concerning the nursing infant: 'Sprinkle water on the urine of a boy and wash the urine of a girl'. Qatadah said: This applies so long as they are not eating solid food; if they are eating solid food, then it is to be washed in both cases.
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ الدِّيْلِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فِي الرَّضِيعِ يُنْضَحُ بَوْلُ الْغُلَامِ وَيُغْسَلُ بَوْلُ الْجَارِيَةِ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَهَذَا مَا لَمْ يَطْعَمَا الطَّعَامَ فَإِذَا طَعِمَا غُسِلَا جَمِيعًا‏.‏
