The Book of Purification and its Sunnah
1/23. Chapter:
Looking for a place to defecate or urinate
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ أَحَبَّ مَا اسْتَتَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ لِحَاجَتِهِ هَدَفٌ أَوْ حَائِشُ نَخْلٍ .
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Ja'far said: "The thing that the Prophet most liked to conceal himself behind when relieving himself was a hillock or a stand of date-palm trees."
