Hadith on Cleanliness: Concession to urinate while standing if needed

Hudhayfah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to a waste area used by people and he urinated over it while standing. I brought him water for ablution and then left him to his privacy. The Prophet called me until I was behind him and he performed ablution, wiping over his leather socks.

Al-Tirmidhi said, “A concession was granted from some of the people of knowledge to urinate while standing.”

عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهَا قَائِمًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِوَضُوءٍ فَذَهَبْتُ لِأَتَأَخَّرَ عَنْهُ فَدَعَانِي حَتَّى كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبَيْهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ
