Al-Kafi 4136

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al Sandy, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Sabbahh Al Haza’a, from Abu Asama who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah^asws, and a man from the Mugheira clan asked him^asws about something from the Sunnah, so he^asws said: ‘There is nothing which anyone from the children of Adam^as would be needy to except that there has flowed a Sunnah from Allah^azwj and a Sunnah from His^azwj Rasool^saww with regards to it. The one who recognises it recognises it, and the one who denies it, denies it’. So the man said, ‘So what is the Sunnah regarding entering the toilet?’ He^asws said: ‘Mentioning Allah^azwj and seeking refuge with Allah^azwj from the Satan^la, the Pelted one. And when you are free, you should say, ‘The Praise is for Allah^azwj upon what exited from me from the harm, in ease and good health’. Then man said, ‘So the human being who happens to be in that state (excreting) and he cannot be patient until he looks at what comes out from him’. He^asws said: ‘There is no person in the earth except with him are two Angels Allocated with him. So when he was upon that state, they bend his neck, then they say: ‘O son of Adam^as! Look at what you were toiling for in the world, to what it has become’.
