34. It was narrated from Qatādah, from ‘Abdullāh bin Sarjis, that the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: “None of you should urinate into a burrow in the ground.” They said to Qatādah: “Why is it disliked to urinate into a burrow in the ground?” He said: “It is said that these are dwelling-places of the jinn.” (Da’if)
34 - أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَبُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي جُحْرٍ» قَالُوا لِقَتَادَةَ: وَمَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ فِي الْجُحْرِ؟ قَالَ: يُقَالَ إِنَّهَا مَسَاكِنُ الْجِنِّ

Burrows or holes in the ground are often homes to worms, insects, snakes, scorpions, and many other harmful creatures. As a consequence of urination into a burrow, such creatures will be forced to come out; this will cause them discomfort needlessly. And provoked, they might harm the urinator or someone else. Hence the prohibition of urinating into a burrow or a hole in the ground. Qatādah ﷺ has specified such places as being the dwellings, not just of insects and small animals, but of jinns as well.
