Quick Hadith 119

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri RA narrates that Rasulullah SAW said:

"No two men should go to the toilet, exposing their private parts and speaking to each other. For verily, Allah Ta'ala hates such an action." (Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Ibn Majah)


COMMENTARY

The above clearly explains the abhored akhlaq of males in this day and age who use urinals in public toilets. Some even talk while relieving themselves. Whether 'going to the toilet together', 'exposing private parts' and 'speaking to each other' are regarded as separate or combined advices in the hadith, regardless, a Muslim must refrain from using urinals for Sunnah, Hayaa (modesty) and Taharah (cleanliness). When a slave of Allah has ignored the above warning in this world, and when Allah's anger is prevalent on the Day of Judgement, how can that slave have the odesity to request the Mercy of The Almighty then. Ignorance of such issues in this world is to book a one-way trip to Jahannam. Allah-forbid.
