ONE HADITH A DAY

The urine of a girl should be washed, but the urine of a boy should be splashed with water

Narrated by Ibn Majah - An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud · Authentic hadith

عن أبي السَّمْح قال: كنت أخْدُم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فكان إذا أراد أن يغتسل قال: «وَلِّني قَفَاك». فأوَلِّيه قَفَايَ فأَسْتُره به، فأُتِيَ بحسن أو حسين رضي الله عنهما فَبَال على صدره فجئتُ أغسله فقال: «يُغسَلُ مِنْ بوْل الجاريَة، ويُرَشُّ مِنْ بوْل الغُلام».

“Abu As-Samh reported: I used to serve the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and whenever he wanted to take a bath, he would say: "Turn the other way." So I would turn my back and screen him with it. Al-Hasan or Al-Husayn was brought to him once, and (the infant) urinated on his chest. When I wanted to wash it, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The urine of a girl should be washed, but the urine of a boy should be splashed with water."”
