Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Avoid two habits which provoke cursing." The Companions said: "What are those things which provoke cursing?" He said, "Relieving on the thoroughfares or under the shades where people take shelter and rest." <b>[Muslim]</b>.

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The Shariah forbids anything that disturbs the places where people move, gather, or rest. This is one of the excellent aspects of the Islamic legislation.<br>
2) The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were keen to understand the Prophet’s intent; that is why they inquired about what he exactly meant. This is the proper attitude of every believer, as he should be keen to understand the Islamic teachings so that he can apply them correctly.
