وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَبُولَ فَأَتَى دَمِثًا فِي أَصْلِ جِدَارٍ فَبَال ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَبُولَ فليرتد لبوله» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Translation

Abū Mūsā said: ‘One day I was with the Prophet when he wanted to urinate. He went to soft ground at the base of a wall and urinated there. Then he said: “When one of you wants to urinate, let him seek out a suitable place for it.”’ Abū Dāwūd transmitted it.
