English narration

Narrated by عبد الرحمن بن الأسود النخعي

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 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."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : لَيْسَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ذَكَرَهُ ، وَلَكِنْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : "

أَتَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْغَائِطَ ، فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ ، فَوَجَدْتُ حَجَرَيْنِ وَالْتَمَسْتُ الثَّالِثَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ ، فَأَخَذْتُ رَوْثَةً فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا ، فَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَيْنِ وَأَلْقَى الرَّوْثَةَ ، وَقَالَ : هَذَا رِكْسٌ

" ، وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ .
