Umm Qays bint Mihsan al-Asadiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: I brought my baby boy, who had not started eating solid food, to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). He took him and sat him on his lap. The baby urinated on the Prophet's garment. So he asked for water and sprinkled it over his garment, but did not wash it. ‘Ā'ishah, the Mother of the Believers, (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: A baby boy was brought to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and he urinated on the Prophet's clothes. So, he asked for water and sprinkled it over it. In another narration: "He sprinkled some of the water on his urine, but did not wash it.”

[Authentic hadith] [Narrated by Muslim - Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim]

Explanation

The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to go to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) with their children, so that they could receive the Prophet's blessing and ask him to supplicate for them. Out of kindness and noble morals, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to meet them cheerfully and with a smile. Umm Qays (may Allah be pleased with her) came with her son, who was still being breastfed and had not yet reached the age of eating solid food. Out of his mercy, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took the boy and sat him on his lap. The boy urinated on the Prophet's clothes, thereupon, he called for some water. He sprinkled some water on the spot of the urine, but he did not wash it. This ruling is exclusive to the male suckling.
