وَعَن عبد الرَّحْمَن بن حَسَنَةَ قَالَ: " خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي يَده كَهَيئَةِ الدَّرَقَةُ فَوَضَعَهَا ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَبَالَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: انْظُرُوا إِلَيْهِ يَبُولُ كَمَا تَبُولُ الْمَرْأَةُ فَسَمعهُ فَقَالَ أَو مَا عَلِمْتَ مَا أَصَابَ صَاحِبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانُوا إِذا أَصَابَهُم شَيْء من الْبَوْلُ قَرَضُوهُ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ فَنَهَاهُمْ فَعُذِّبَ فِي قَبْرِهِ ". رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ ورواه النسائي عنه عن أبي موسى

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ḥasana said: ‘The Messenger of God came out to us with something like a shield in his hand. He set it down, sat, and urinated toward it. One of the people said: “Look at him—he urinates like a woman!” He heard him and said: “Woe to you! Do you not know what happened to a man among the Children of Israel? When urine got on them, they cut the affected part off with scissors. He forbade them from doing that and was punished in his grave.”’ Abū Dāwūd and Ibn Mājah transmitted it. Al-Nasāʾī transmitted it from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, from Abū Mūsā.

The accompanying grading labels the report ṣaḥīḥ (sound). The Arabic does not name the person who forbade the cutting or make the final pronoun’s referent explicit; the translation preserves that ambiguity. The noun for what they cut is also implicit; ‘the affected part’ is supplied from the context of urine falling on it.
