The Prophet said concerning the urine of a nursing infant: "Water should be sprinkled over the urine of a boy, and the urine of a girl should be washed." Abul-Hasan bin Salamah said: "Ahmad bin Musa bin Ma'qil narrated to us that Abul-Yaman Al-Misri said: 'I asked Shafi'i about the Hadith of the Prophet, "Water should be sprinkled over the urine of a baby boy, and the urine of a baby girl should be washed," when the two types of water (urine) are the same. He said, "This is because the urine of the boy is of water and clay, but the urine of the girl is of flesh and blood." Then he said to me: "Did you understand?" I said: "No." He said: "When Allah the Most High created Adam, He created Eve (Hawwa') from his short rib, so the boy's urine is from water and clay, and the girl's urine is from flesh and blood." Then he said to me: "Did you understand?" I said: "Yes." He said: "May Allah cause you benefit from this."

في الفرق أحاديث ليست على شرط الصحيح منها حديث علي مرفوعا ينضح بول الغلام ويغسل بول الجارية أخرجه أحمد وأصحاب السنن إلا النسائي وروي موقوفا
machine translationAmong the hadiths on the distinction (between the urine of a boy and a girl) are some that do not meet the condition of the Ṣaḥīḥ, among them the hadith of ʿAlī traced to the Prophet (marfūʿ): "The urine of a boy is sprinkled with water, and the urine of a girl is washed." Aḥmad and the authors of the Sunan, except al-Nasāʾī, recorded it, and it was also narrated as mawqūf.

machine translationQatādah narrates it from Abū Ḥarb b. Abī al-Aswad, from his father, and Hishām b. Abī ʿAbdillāh traced it back to the Prophet (marfūʿ), in the narration of his son Muʿādh and ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAbd al-Wārith from Hishām, while others than the two reported it from Hishām as a statement of the Companion (mawqūf). Likewise Saʿīd b. Abī ʿArūbah and Hammām narrated it from Qatādah as mawqūf. And God knows best.
