Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْبَرَازَ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى لاَ يَرَاهُ أَحَدٌ ‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad ibn Musarhad narrated to us: ‘Isa ibn Yunus narrated to us: Isma‘il ibn ‘Abd al-Malik reported to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whenever he wished to go out to answer the call of nature, would set off until no one could see him.
