حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَی أَنْ يُبَالَ فِي الْجُحْرِ قَالُوا لِقَتَادَةَ مَا يُکْرَهُ مِنْ الْبَوْلِ فِي الْجُحْرِ قَالَ کَانَ يُقَالُ إِنَّهَا مَسَاکِنُ الْجِنِّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 29
Narrated Abdullah ibn Sarjis: The Prophet ﷺ prohibited to urinate in a hole. Qatadah (a narrator) was asked about the reason for the disapproval of urinating in a hole. He replied: It is said that these (hoes) are the habitats of the jinn.
