Chapter No. 2, The Chapters of Purification and its Sunnah
Hadith No: 309
Narrated/Authority of Jabir bin Abdullah
"The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade us to urinate while standing." (Daif)
I heard Muhammad (SAW) bin Yazid, Abu Abdullah,*say: "I heard Ahmad bin Abdur-Rahman Al-Makhzumi say: Sufyan Ath-Thawri said concerning the Hadith of Aishah - 'I (always) saw him urinating whilst sitting down' - a man knows more about that (about such matters) than she.' Ahmad bin Abdur-Rahman said: 'It was the custom of the Arabs to urinate while standing up. Do you not see that in the Hadith of Abdur-Rahman bin Hasanah it was said: 'He sits down to urinate as a woman does.'"**
*That is, Ibn Majah.
**See no. 346.
