345 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَبُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْمَاءِ النَّاقِعِ»

Commentary
a. 'Standing water' means still water in a pond etc., that is not flowing. If people make a habit of urinating in such waters, they shall turn dirty and unfit for other uses. b. What we infer from the Hadith is that it is not, as a rule, impermissible to urinate in the running water of a stream or river, still it would be best to avoid it, since doing so would be against the principle of cleanliness and purity.
