Allah عزوجل Almighty says

( فِیۡہِ رِجَالٌ یُّحِبُّوۡنَ اَنۡ یَّتَطَہَّرُوۡا ؕ وَاللہُ یُحِبُّ الْمُطَّہِّرِیۡنَ  ) ـ2ـ

‘In this Mosque (Musjid Al Quba) there are those who are fond of remaining pure, and Allah loves those who are pure.’ [Surah 9, Verse 108]

Hadith 1: It is reported in Sunan Ibn Majah on the authority of Abu Ayub, Jaabir and Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنھم that when this verse was revealed, Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  said, ‘O assembly of Ansaar! Allah has praised you with regards to your purification, so tell me about this purification of yours.’ They said, ‘We perform Wudu (ritual ablution) for Namaaz and we perform Ghusl (ritual purification bath) from Janaabat and we perform Istinja with water.’ He صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Then it is this, so make this necessary (i.e. a habitual practice).’

Hadith 2: Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah report on the authority of Zaid bin Arqam رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘The toilets are where the Jins and shaitaans are present, so when anyone enters into a toilet, he should read:

اَعُوْذُ بِاللہِ مِنَ الْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ

Hadith 3: In the Sahihain, this Dua has been mentioned as follows:

اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَعُوْذُ بِکَ مِنَ الْخُبُثِ وَالْخَبَائِثِ

Hadith 4: It is mentioned in the narration of Tirmizi from Ameer ul Momineen Ali رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that the veil between the eyes of the Jin and the private ornaments of a human is to proclaim ‘Bismillah’ when entering the toilet.

Hadith 5: Tirmizi, Ibn Majah and Daarimi report from Umm ul Momineen Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا that when Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  would emerge from the toilet, he would say: '' غُفْرَانَکَ

Hadith 6: It is reported in Ibn Majah from Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that when he  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم would emerge from the toilet, he would say:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیْ اَذْھَبَ عَنِّی الْاَذٰی وَعَا فَانِیْ

Hadith 7: It is in Hisn Haseen that he  used to say:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیْ اَخْرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِیْ مَا یَضُرُّنِیْ وَاَبْقٰی فِیْہِ مَا یَنْفَعُنِیْ

Hadith 8: It has been mentioned in numerous books from various Sahaba-e-Kiraam رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنھم that Rasoolullah  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘When answering the call of nature, neither face the direction of the Qibla nor allow the Qibla to be at your back.’ He صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  also disallowed us from holding the private part with the right hand and cleaning the private parts with the right hand.

Hadith 9: It is reported in Abu Dawud, Tirmizi and Nasa’i from Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  would remove his ring when entering the toilet, as his blessed name was engraved on it.

Hadith 10: Abu Dawud and Tirmizi report from Anas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that when he  would intend to answer the call of nature, he صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم would not raise his clothing until he was close to the ground.

Hadith 11: Abu Dawud reported on the authority of Jaabir رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that when Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم would go out to answer the call of nature, he would go so far away that none would be able to see him.

Hadith 12: Tirmizi and Nasa’i have reported from Abdullah ibn Mas’ud رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Do not use dung and bones to clean your private parts as they are the foods of your brothers the Jins.’ It is mentioned in one narration of Abu Dawud that he صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  also cautioned us against the use of coal.

Hadith 13: Abu Dawud, Tirmizi and Nasa’i have reported from Abdullah ibn Maghfal رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘One should not urinate in a bathroom, thereafter bathing or performing Wudu in it, because most evil distractions are caused by this.’

Hadith 14: Abu Dawud and Nasa’i have reported from Abdullah bin Sarjas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم disallowed us from urinating in a hole.

Hadith 15: Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah reported on the authority of Mu’az رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘Abstain from the 3 things which are the cause of being cursed; urinating on a quayside, urinating on the road (publicly) and urinating under the shade of a tree.’

Hadith 16: Imam Ahmed, Tirmizi and Nasa’i report from Umm ul Momineen Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا wherein she says, ‘If any person tells you that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  passed urine whilst standing then do not regard him as being truthful. Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم never passed urine except whilst sitting.’

Hadith 17: Imam Ahmed, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah report from Abu Sa’eed Khudri رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  said, ‘Allah becomes displeased will two people who go out to answer the call of nature and they uncover their private parts and (sit there) talking to one another.’

Hadith 18: It is reported in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim from Abdullah ibn Ab’bas رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنھما that Huzoor  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم passed by two graves and said, ‘Both these persons are being punished and not for a serious (which could not be avoided) reason. One of them never used to protect himself from the droplets of urine and the other was involved in tale-bearing.’ Huzoor صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم  then took a fresh date branch and broke it into two pieces and planted a piece on each grave. The Sahaba said, ‘Ya Rasool’Allah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم ! Why did (Huzoor صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم ) do this?’ He  صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘In hope that as long as they do not become dry, there punishment will be lessened.’
