Manners and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad After Defecating and Urinating
Maintaining cleanliness is an important part of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad ï·º taught various manners and sunnah after defecating and urinating so that his people would always be clean and healthy. Here are some manners and sunnah that are recommended after finishing using the toilet.
1. Using the Left Hand to Cleanse Yourself
The Prophet ï·º taught to use the left hand when cleaning yourself after defecating or urinating. This is in accordance with the hadith:
“If one of you defecates, then let him not touch his genitals with his right hand and let him not perform istinja with his right hand.” (Narrated by Muslim)
Therefore, it is better to use the left hand to clean yourself and the right hand to do other activities such as eating and drinking.
2. Performing istinja with Water or Stones
Performing istinja is cleaning yourself after defecating or urinating. The Prophet ï·º taught to use water, stones, or other pure objects. However, in Islam, water is more recommended because it is cleaner and more effective in removing impurities.
“From Anas bin Malik radhiyallahu ‘anhu, Rasulullah ï·º used to go into the toilet, then I and a child my age brought a bucket of water and a stick. Then he performed istinja with the water.” (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
3. Washing Hands After Performing Istinja
After cleaning yourself, it is sunnah to wash your hands with soap or water until clean so that no dirt remains. This helps maintain cleanliness and health of the body.
4. Exit with the Right Foot First
When exiting the toilet, Rasulullah ï·º recommended stepping with the right foot first. This is his habit that shows good manners in Islam.
5. Reading a Prayer After Exiting the Toilet
After exiting the toilet, Rasulullah ï·º taught to read a prayer as an expression of gratitude for being freed from dirt that is harmful to the body. The prayer is:
“Alhamdulillahilladzi adhhaba ‘annil adza wa ‘afani.”
(Meaning: All praise be to Allah who has removed the dirt from my body and given me health.)
This prayer teaches us to be grateful for the blessings of health and cleanliness that Allah has given.
6. Do not bring or read the Qur’an in the toilet
It is forbidden to bring or read the Qur’an in the toilet because the place is not clean and not suitable for reading holy verses.
7. Do not talk or eat in the toilet
The Messenger of Allah ï·º did not teach his people to talk in the toilet unless there was an emergency. In addition, eating or drinking in the toilet is also not allowed because it is considered unhygienic and not in accordance with Islamic manners.
Conclusion
The manners and sunnah after defecating and urinating are very important to maintain cleanliness, health, and carry out the guidance of the Messenger of Allah ï·º. Some of the main things to note are:
✅ Cleaning yourself with the left hand and water
✅ Washing hands after performing istanja
✅ Exiting with the right foot first
✅ Reading a prayer after exiting the toilet
✅ Avoiding talking and carrying the Qur’an in the toilet
By implementing these sunnahs, we not only maintain cleanliness but also gain blessings in our daily lives. Hopefully useful!
