Re-explanation of the Chapter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the Book of Ablution in his Sahih:
"Chapter on urinating at the latrine of a people".
Muhammad ibn 'Urayrah narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us from Mansur from Abu Wa'il, who said:.
The Shaykh : We have read this.
The student: ...
The reader:.
So Hudhayfah said:Sahih al-Bukhari 226.
The Shaykh : This contains no addition to what came before except his saying: "Abu Musa al-Ash'ari used to be strict regarding urine". That is, he was strict in purifying it, and he said:Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 3:206 meaning that urine had struck one of their garments meaning he cut it off. This was among the burdens imposed upon them, and it is said that this is what was with the Jews. As for what was with the Christians, the matter is the opposite, meaning that they do not care about urine at all and do not wash it. So this Ummah was a middle path between the strictness of the Jews and the leniency of the Christians, and Allah knows best.
And Hudhayfah's saying: "I wish he had held back" means I wish he had held back from being strict. Then he cited as evidence for this the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated at the latrine of a people while standing. That is, as if he is saying that it is the norm that one who urinates standing will inevitably have some of the spray strike him.
And perhaps this is the origin of the statement of those who said that a small amount of all impurities is excused, and this is the choice of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. That is, he holds that a small amount of all impurities—urine, blood, and all impurities—is excused. And perhaps this serves as a basis for what the Shaykh went to.
And the explanation, in al-Fath?

كان أبو موسى الأشعري يشدد في البولThe Shaykh : We have read this.
The student: ...
The reader:
He used to be strict regarding urine and say that among the Children of Israel, if urine struck one of their garments, he would cut it off
يشدد في البول ويقول إن في بني إسرائيل كان إذا أصاب ثوب أحدهم قرضهSo Hudhayfah said:
I wish he (Abu Musa) didn't (lay great stress on that matter)." Hudhaifa added, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went to the dumps of some people and urinated while standing."
ليته امسك أتى رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلم سباطة قوم فبال قائماThe Shaykh : This contains no addition to what came before except his saying: "Abu Musa al-Ash'ari used to be strict regarding urine". That is, he was strict in purifying it, and he said:
That among the Children of Israel, if urine struck one of their garments
إن بني اسرائيل كان إذا أصاب ثوب أحدهمHe would cut it off
