Seeking the Place to Relieve Oneself and the Etiquettes of Entering and Exiting
وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ اَلْبَاقِرُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا اِنْكَشَفَ أَحَدُكُمْ لِبَوْلٍ أَوْ لِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَقُلْ: بِسْمِ اَللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اَلشَّيْطَانَ يَغُضُّ بَصَرَهُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ.
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام said: "When one of you uncovers himself to urinate or for any other reason, let him say, 'In the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى,' for then the devil will lower his gaze from him until he is finished."
