Chapter 7: The Manners of Answering the Call of Nature

باب قضاء الحاجة

Bulugh al-Maram 101

Narrated Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him)

The Prophet (ﷺ) went out to answer the call of nature and asked me to bring three stones. I found two stones and searched for the third but could not find it. So I took a dried piece of dung and brought it to him. He took the two stones and threw away the dung and said, “This is a filthy thing”. [Reported by Al-Bukhari]

وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { أَتَى اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-اَلْغَائِطَ, فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ, فَوَجَدْتُ حَجَرَيْنِ, وَلَمْ أَجِدْ ثَالِثًا.‏ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِرَوْثَةٍ.‏ فَأَخَذَهُمَا وَأَلْقَى اَلرَّوْثَةَ, وَقَالَ: "هَذَا رِكْسٌ" } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْبُخَارِيّ ُ 1‏ .‏

And in the version of Ahmad and Ad-Daraqutni it is added

“Bring me more (something other than dung)”].

زَادَ أَحْمَدُ, وَاَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ: { ائْتِنِي بِغَيْرِهَا } 1‏ .‏
