[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]
- .... And it was not reported that he (peace be upon him) commanded the one who had sucked his blood to wash his mouth, nor that he washed his mouth of it, just as it was not reported that he commanded his caregiver, Umm Ayman, Barakah the Abyssinian (may Allah be pleased with her), to wash her mouth, nor did she wash it after she drank his (peace be upon him) urine.
Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood up during the night by a pitcher, that is, under his bed, and urinated in it. I got up, being thirsty, and drank what was in the pitcher without realizing it. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his holy progeny) became morning, he said: 'O Umm Ayman, go to that pitcher and pour out whatever is in it.' She said: 'By Allah, I have drunk what is in it.'" Then he (peace be upon him) laughed until his teeth showed and said: "Your belly will never be distended with a giym and fa' after this," and in another wording, "Your belly will not enter the Fire," and in another, "You will not complain of your belly," and it is possible that he (peace be upon him) said all three of these phrases, each having been narrated according to what was heard. Thus, these three matters could occur for Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her).
- .... And in a narration, instead of a pitcher, it was a container of long, open twigs from the date palm. If this is authentic, it could be understood as a matter of multiple containers for Umm Ayman (may Allah be pleased with her), and there is no objection to this.
Also, a woman named Barakah bint Tha'laba bint 'Amr drank his (peace be upon him) urine. She was serving Umm Habiba (may Allah be pleased with her), who had come with her from Abyssinia, and hence she was called Barakah the Abyssinian.
