[8] The Mercy of Allah -azwj for the Believers: وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع- كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَهُمْ قَطْرَةُ بَوْلٍ قَرَضُوا لُحُومَهُمْ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ وَ قَدْ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَوْسَعِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْمَاءَ طَهُوراً فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَكُونُونَ.
And Al-Sadiq -asws (the 6 th Imam -asws ) said: ‘It was so that the Children of Israel, whenever one of them was hit by urine, they would have to scratch off their skin with the scissors, but Allah -azwj has Given you leeway with it which is more valuable than what is between the sky and the earth, and Made for you the water as a purifier, therefore watch out on how you are behaving (with gratefulness and submission)’.
[9] Some Ahadith Recommending Istibra after urination: وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ بَالَ فَلْيَضَعْ إِصْبَعَهُ الْوُسْطَى فِي أَصْلِ الْعِجَانِ ثُمَّ يَسْلِتُهَا ثَلَاثاً And by this chain, from Ali -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said to us: ‘One who urinates, so let him place his middle finger in the base of the scrotum, then take it off, three times’.
[10] عَوَالِي اللآَّلِي، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ يَزْدَادَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ إِذَا بَالَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَنْتُرْ ذَكَرَهُ Awail Al La’aly – from Isa Bin Yazdad, from his father, who says: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘When one of you urinates, then let him jolt (shake) his manhood’. [11] How much Water one Needs?
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ يُجْزِئُكَ مِنَ الْغُسْلِ وَ الِاسْتِنْجَاءِ مَا مُلِئَتْ يَمِينُكَ .
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Yazeed Bin Is’haq, from Haroun Bin Hamza, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘It would suffice you from the washing and the cleansing (after toilet) what fills your right hand’ (but washing is with the left hand – see the following Ahadith).
[12] Pouring water twice: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْبَوْلِ يُصِيبُ الْجَسَدَ قَالَ صُبَّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ مَرَّتَيْنِ .
