606. 'Alī bin Abī Tālib (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The screen between the eyes of the jinns and the nakedness of the children of Ādam when one of you enters the area of relieving oneself is saying: 'Bismillāh.'" (Da'if) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except from this route, and its chain is not that strong. Something about this has been narrated from Anas from the Prophet ﷺ.

Arabic text

٦٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحَكَمُ بْنُ بَشِيرِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌خَلَّادٌ الصَّفَّارُ، عَنِ ‌الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ النَّصْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «سِتْرُ مَا بَيْنَ أَعْيُنِ الْجِنِّ وَعَوْرَاتِ» بَنِي آدَمَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُهُمُ الْخَلَاءَ أَنْ يَقُولَ بِسْمِ اللهِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ، وَإِسْنَادُهُ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ الْقَوِيِّ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا فِي هَذَا.

Commentary

It is clear by having a thorough look at the various narrations that when entering the toilet, it is recommended to say 'Bismillāh' and 'A'ūdhu billāhi minal khubthi wal khabā'ith'. Though only one is enough as well, because some of the narrations reported about 'Bismillāh' are authentic. [Ma'ārif As-Sunan: 5/144, Tuhfatul Al-Aḥwaḍhi: 1/414].
