7. 'Aishah, [may Allāh be pleased with her] said: "When the Prophet ﷺ would exit the toilet he would say: 'Ghufrānak.'" [1 (Ṣaḥīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb Hasan. We do not know of it except from the narration of Isrā'īl, from Yūsuf bin Abū Burdah, and Abū Burdah bin Abū Mūsā's name is 'Āmir bin 'Abdullāh bin Qais Al-Ash'arī. And we do not know of any narrations on this topic except for the Hadīth of 'Aishah, [may Allāh be pleased with her, from the Prophet ﷺ].

Commentary
1. By relieving oneself, a person passes defecations from the body. The removal of defecation and urine is necessary for the health and life of human beings. If excrement or urine is not passed, the person becomes sick, and a person is disturbed and distressed until they are passed, he does not feel comfortable and relieved without doing so. Therefore the passing of excrements is a great favour and kindness of Allāh ﷻ.
2. The word of 'Ghufrānak' gives the meaning of 'thankfulness'; as Sibwaih quoted a phrase from the Arabs: Ghufrānakā lā Kufrānak [we thank You, and we are not unthankful to You].
