Hadith 245

And from him – by his chain, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Yusuf, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Masrour, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Al Qasim, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Khadeeja, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said: ‘Amro Bin Ubeyd, and Wasil Bin Ata’a, and Bashir Al-Rahaal asked Abu Abdullah-asws about limits of the toilet when the man enters it. He‑asws said: ‘When he enters the toilet, he should say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! ’ When he sits to fulfil his need, he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Remove the harm from me and Make my food comfortable for me’. When he has fulfilled his need, he should say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Expelled the harm from me and Made my food comfortable for me’’. Then he-asws said: ‘There is an Angel allocated with the servants. Whenever one of you has fulfilled his need, he turns his neck and says, ‘O son of Adam-as! Are you not looking at what has emerged from your inside? Nothing had entered it except good, and (look) at your private part, so do not enter it into the Prohibited (activity)! ’’ [277]
