أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ لَيْسَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ذَكَرَهُ وَلَكِنْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ
أَتَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْغَائِطَ وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِثَلاَثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ فَوَجَدْتُ حَجَرَيْنِ وَالْتَمَسْتُ الثَّالِثَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ فَأَخَذْتُ رَوْثَةً فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَيْنِ وَأَلْقَى الرَّوْثَةَ وَقَالَ هَذِهِ رِكْسٌ

"The Prophet ﷺ wanted to defecate, and he told me to bring him three stones. I found two stones and looked for a third, but I could not find any, so I picked up a piece of dung and brought them to the Prophet ﷺ. He took the two stones and three away the dung and said: "This is Riks." Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai') said: Riks is the food of the jinn.

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Dāraquṭnī
أحسنها سياقا الطريق الأولى التي أخرجها البخاري ولكن في النفس منها شيء لكثرة الاختلاف فيه على أبي إسحاق
machine translationThe best of them in wording is the first route, which al-Bukhārī transmitted, but there is something in the heart about it because of the great disagreement about it from Abū Isḥāq.
in سنن النسائي, p. 42 - al-Bukhari
لم يقض فيه بشيء وكأنه رأى حديث زهير أشبه
machine translationHe did not decide anything about it, as if he saw the hadith of Zuhayr as more likely.

- Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
الذي يظهر أن الذي رجحه البخاري هو الأرجح وبيان ذلك أن مجموع كلام الأئمة مشعر بأن الراجح على الروايات كلها إما طريق إسرائيل وهي عن أبي عبيدة عن أبيه وأبو عبيدة لم يسمع من أبيه فيكون الإسناد منقطعا أو رواية زهير وهي عن عبد الرحمن بن الأسود عن أبيه عن ابن مسعود فيكون متصلا وهو تصرف صحيح لأن الأسانيد فيه إلى زهير وإلى إسرائيل أثبت من بقية الأسانيد وإذا تقرر ذلك كانت دعوى الاضطراب في هذا الحديث منتفية لأن الاختلاف على الحفاظ في الحديث لا يوجب أن يكون مضطربا إلا بشرطين
machine translationWhat appears is that the narration al-Bukhārī preferred is the most preferable, and the explanation is that the sum of the imams' statements indicates that what is preferable over all the narrations is either the route of Isrāʾīl, which is from Abū ʿUbaydah from his father, and Abū ʿUbaydah did not hear from his father, so the chain would be broken (munqaṭiʿ); or the narration of Zuhayr, which is from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. al-Aswad from his father from Ibn Masʿūd, so it would be connected (muttaṣil). This is a sound judgement, because the chains to Zuhayr and to Isrāʾīl are more reliable than the rest of the chains. Once that is established, the claim of inconsistency (iḍṭirāb) in this hadith is negated, because disagreement among the memorizers about a hadith does not make it inconsistent except under two conditions.
