20. Al-Mughīrah bin Shu'bah said: "I was with the Prophet ﷺ on a
journey. The Prophet ﷺ had to relieve himself, so he went far away.” (Hasan)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Qurād, Abū Qatādah, Jābir, and Yahya bin ‘Ubaid from his father, and Abū Mūsā, Ibn ‘Abbās, and Bilāl bin Al-Ḥārith.

Commentary
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ naturally has very much the sense of bashfulness, shyness and nobility. So he ﷺ would relieve himself in such a way that none could see him. It was fair enough if a decent private place, somewhere near, was available otherwise he ﷺ would go further away.
