346. It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Hasanah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came out to us holding a small shield in his hand. He put it down, then he sat down and urinated towards it. Some of the people said: 'Look at him, he urinates like a woman!' The Prophet ﷺ heard that and said: 'Woe to you! Do you not know what happened to one of the Children of Israel? If any urine touched any part of their clothes, they would cut that out with scissors. He told them not to do that, so he was tormented in his grave.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
While urinating in an open place, a person must be particular about screening, which could be had either from a tree or a wall etc., or from any other thing available to the person concerned. A case in point is that of the shield which the Prophet ﷺ used for the purpose.
Inviting the people to an act of sin, or dissuading them from following some virtuous habit, or doing something good, is a deadly crime punishable even in the grave before the Day of Resurrection.
The Hadith confirms the reality of torment in the grave.
