23. Hudhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to a place where a group of people threw their refuse,[1] and he urinated standing up. He (ﷺ) then called for water, and wiped over his leather socks (during Wudū). (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Musad-dad (one of the narrators has the addition that Hudhaifah said): "So I went away, but he called me back until I stood behind him."
23 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، وَمُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَفْصٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ «فَبَالَ قَائِمًا، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ أَتَبَاعَدُ فَدَعَانِي حَتَّى كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبِهِ

Squatting to relieve oneself is more commonly reported, this Hadīth proves that when there is a reason and genuine need, there is no harm in standing to relieve oneself, provided one does so in a way that they can protect themselves from any splashing of the urine.
