AbdurRahman ibn Hasanah reported: I and Amr ibn al-'As went to the Prophet (peace be upon him). He came out with a leather shield (in his hand). He covered himself with it and urinated. Then we said: Look at him. He is urinating as a woman does. The Prophet (peace be upon him), heard this and said: Do you not know what befell a person from amongst Banu Isra'il (the children of Israel)? When urine fell on them, they would cut off the place where the urine fell; but he (that person) forbade them (to do so), and was punished in his grave.}}

''Answer''


Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.
 
 
Al-Bukhari  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him reported from Abu Qulaba  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him from Anas  may  Allaah  be pleased  with  him that he said,
 
"The climate of Madeenah did not suit some people who came from 'Ukul or 'Uraynah. So, the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) ordered them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). Thus, they followed the shepherd, (i.e., the camels) and drank their milk and urine until their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels away. When the news reached the Prophet sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) he sent some people in their pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated iron bars and they were left in Al-Harra until they died in that state. "
 
Abu Qulaba  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon him said, "They reverted to disbelief after conversion to Islam, stole and killed. In fact, they fought Allaah and His Messenger."
 
 
There is evidence from this Hadeeth that the milk and urine of camels is a treatment for some diseases. This is mentioned expressly in the Hadeeth narrated by Ibn 'Abbaas  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him from the Messenger of Allaah The Almighty that he said: "The milk and urine of camels is a cure for those who suffer from (stomach) indigestion." [Ahmad]


Al-Bukhari reported from Abu Qulaba from Anas (Radiya Allahu Anhu) that he said: "The climate of Madina did not suit some people who came from 'Ukul or 'Uraynah. So, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) ordered them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So, they followed the shepherd, that is the camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels away. When the news reached the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) he sent some people in their pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated iron bars and they were left in Al Harra till they died in that state. Abu Qulaba said: 'they reverted to disbelief after conversion to Islam, stole and killed. In fact, they fought Allah and His Messenger'.  
An-Nasaa'i, may Allaah  have mercy upon him, reported from Anas may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him about the people of 'Ukal and 'Uraynah, "When their skins became yellowish and their bellies got very big, the Prophet sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) sent them to his camels and ordered them to drink its milk and urine."


There is evidence from this Hadith that the milk and urine of camels is a treatment for some diseases. This is mentioned expressly in the Hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas from the apostle of Allah that he said: "The milk and urine of camels is a cure for those who suffer from (stomach) indigestion" [ Ahmad ].
Ibn Al-Qayyim  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him considered this an 'authentic Prophetic medicine'.


Al-Nasae reported from Anas (Radiya Allahu Anhu) about the people of Akal and Arina: "When their skins became yellowish and their bellies got very big, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) sent them to his camels and ordered them to drink its milk and urine" . Ibn Al-Qayyim 'considered this as authentic Prophetic medicine'.

Ibn Taymiyyah gave in detail the evidence for regarding the excrement of the edible animals pure. Among this evidence is the hadith reported by Anas ibn Malik to the effect that some people from `Akal or `Uraynah came to Madinah but their health was affected by its weather. Upon knowing that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that some camels be brought and that they drink from their urine and milk. According to Ibn Taymiyyah, on drinking the urine of camels, those people's mouths, hands, clothes, and vessels were to be contaminated with the urine. Had such urine been impure, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have clarified that to them and ordered them to purify their hands, mouths and clothes upon performing Prayer, and to clean their vessels of the filth. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do so. This shows that the urine is not impure. In addition to that, he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the urine with the milk, and this indicates that they are equal, or at least casts doubts regarding the urine's being impure. Besides, he (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed the camels' urine and milk as treatment. Had their urine been impure, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have prescribed it, for he would never prescribe something unlawful.

What is it about urine that makes a dead person be punished for it in his/her grave? Is it that if he does not clean himself from urine, he is punished in the grave? Could you please explain this in some detail and I do not find the matter embracing at all since it is a serious matter.
