30. It was narrated that 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ḥasanah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to us with a small leather shield in his hand. He put it down, then he sat behind it and urinated toward it. Some of the people said: 'Look, he is urinating like a woman.' He heard that and said: 'Do you not know what happened to the companion of the Children of Israel? If they got any urine on themselves they would clip that part of their garments off. Their companion told them not to do that and he was punished in his grave.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
1. "As a woman urinates"; this comparison alludes either to urinating while squatting or while one conceals oneself behind a screen. The person who
uttered these words might not have been a man who had been nurtured and trained by the Prophet ﷺ, or else he might have been a disbeliever, a new Muslim, or a hypocrite.
2. "Cut with scissors" denotes cloth that was sullied with urine and not the body.
