حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَخَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْمُقْرِئُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَحْيَی التَّوْأَمُ ح و حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْقُوبَ التَّوْأَمُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ بَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ خَلْفَهُ بِکُوزٍ مِنْ مَائٍ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ هَذَا مَائٌ تَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ قَالَ مَا أُمِرْتُ کُلَّمَا بُلْتُ أَنْ أَتَوَضَّأَ وَلَوْ فَعَلْتُ لَکَانَتْ سُنَّةً
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 42
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ urinated and Umar was standing behind him with a jug of water. He said: What is this, Umar? He replied: Water for you to perform ablution with. He said: I have not been commanded to perform ablution every time I urinate. If I were to do so, it would become a sunnah.
