The Sufficient (Vol 3) · Hadith 73 (#Ḥadīth #5)

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ خَرَجَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) وَأَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَائِمٌ وَهُوَ غُلاَمٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ يَا غُلاَمُ أَيْنَ يَضَعُ الْغَرِيبُ بِبَلَدِكُمْ فَقَالَ اجْتَنِبْ أَفْنِيَةَ الْمَسَاجِدِ وَشُطُوطَ الأنْهَارِ وَمَسَاقِطَ الثِّمَارِ وَمَنَازِلَ النُّزَّالِ وَلاَ تَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ بِغَائِطٍ وَلاَ بَوْلٍ وَارْفَعْ ثَوْبَكَ وَضَعْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated in a marfu‘ manner the following: “Once, abu Hanifah came out of a meeting with abu ‘Abd Allah . Abu al-Hassan, Musa, a young boy at that time, was standing in the meeting place. Abu Hanifah asked him, ‘O young man, where does an outsider relieve himself of nature’s demand in your town?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘You must avoid the courtyard of a Masjid, banks of canals, places where fruits fall from trees and people’s rest areas. Do not face the direction of al-Ka‘bah, when defecating or urinating and keep your clothes away (from pollution). Thereafter relieve yourself wherever you like.’”
