Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Hasnah narrates that I and Hazrat Amr bin Al-Aas were sitting, when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had with him a leather shield or something similar to it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used it as a screen and sat down to relieve himself. We said, "O Messenger of Allah! You (peace and blessings be upon him) have relieved yourself in such a concealed manner as a woman does!" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Do you not know what happened to the man among the Children of Israel? If a drop of urine fell on any of their clothes, he would cut it off with scissors. They were forbidden from this, but they persisted, so they were punished in their graves."
