أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ کَانَ يَؤُمُّ أَصْحَابَهُ فَحَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ يَوْمًا فَذَهَبَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُکُمْ الْغَائِطَ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِهِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 856
It was narrated from Hisham bin ‘Urwah from his father that ‘Abdullah bin Arqam used to lead his companions in prayer. The time for prayer came one day and he went to relieve himself then he came back and said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say: ‘If any one of you feels the need to defecate, let him do that first, before he prays.” (Sahih)
