Quran
وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورًا
"And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy, and We send down from the sky pure water"
Surah Al-Furqan · 25:48
Water is described as purifying (tahūran), relevant to urinary tract cleansing and the classical prescription of increased water intake to flush bacterial infection from the bladder and urethra.
وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰ أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّنَ الْغَائِطِ أَوْ لَامَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا
"And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth"
Surah An-Nisa · 4:43
Recognition of the connection between urinary function and ritual purity reflects classical awareness of urogenital health, particularly relevant to women's health and post-coital hygiene that prevents urinary tract infections.
Sahih Hadith
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا خَرَجَ لِحَاجَتِهِ أَجِيءُ أَنَا وَغُلاَمٌ مَعَنَا إِدَاوَةٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ يَعْنِي يَسْتَنْجِي بِهِ
"When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went to relieve himself, I and another boy used to accompany him with a staff, a stick or a short spear and a container of water, and when he finished we would bring him the water for cleansing"
Emphasizes water cleansing after urination, a key prophylactic measure against urinary tract infections through proper hygiene and removal of bacterial contamination.
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَبُولَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الْمَاءِ الرَّاكِدِ
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade that a man should urinate in stagnant water"
Prophetic prohibition preventing contamination of water sources that could harbor bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections when used for washing or drinking.
