Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 1, Hadith 375

Narrated Lubabah daughter of al-Harith: Al-Husayn ibn Ali was (sitting) in the lap of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He passed water on him. I said: Put on (another) clothe, and give me your wrapper to wash. He said: The urine of a female child should be washed (thoroughly) and the urine of a male child should be sprinkled over.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، وَالرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، – الْمَعْنَى – قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ قَابُوسَ، عَنْ لُبَابَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَتْ كَانَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ – رضى الله عنه – فِي حِجْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ الْبَسْ ثَوْبًا وَأَعْطِنِي إِزَارَكَ حَتَّى أَغْسِلَهُ قَالَ ‏
“‏ إِنَّمَا يُغْسَلُ مِنْ بَوْلِ الأُنْثَى وَيُنْضَحُ مِنْ بَوْلِ الذَّكَرِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 1, Hadith 375

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. Emerging from the vibrant intellectual culture of the 9th century, Sunan Abi Dawud was compiled by Abu Dawud al-Sijistani during a golden age of Islamic scholarship. This period was characterized by a concerted, scholarly effort to journey across the Muslim world, gather narrations, and preserve the authentic teachings of the Prophet for future generations. His work, which became one of the six canonical collections, successfully gathered over 4,800 hadiths covering all aspects of law, worship, and social conduct. The critical methodology he employed in selecting and annotating these narrations secured its enduring status as a highly authoritative and indispensable reference.
