Aisha (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) urinated, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood behind him with a container of water. He said: "What is this, O Umar?" Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "It is water for you to perform ablution." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "I was not commanded to perform ablution every time I urinate, and if I did, it would become a Sunnah."
