Jami' at-Tirmidhi 16

Translation

"They said to Salman, 'Your Prophet taught you about everything, even defecating?' So Salman said, 'Yes. He prohibited us from facing the Qiblah when defecating and urinating, performing Istinja with the right hand, using less than three stones for Istinja, and using dung or bones for Istinja"

Notes

• قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَخُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَجَابِرٍ وَخَلاَّدِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَحَدِيثُ سَلْمَانَ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ رَأَوْا أَنَّ الاِسْتِنْجَاءَ بِالْحِجَارَةِ يُجْزِئُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَنْجِ بِالْمَاءِ إِذَا أَنْقَى أَثَرَ الْغَائِطِ وَالْبَوْلِ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ

  machine translationAbū ʿĪsā said: On this topic there are narrations from ʿĀʾishah, Khuzaymah b. Thābit, Jābir, and Khallād b. al-Sāʾib from his father. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Salmān on this topic is a good and sound (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ) hadith, and it is the view of most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and those after them. They held that cleaning oneself with stones is sufficient, even if one does not clean oneself with water, provided that the traces of excrement and urine are removed. This is what al-Thawrī, Ibn al-Mubārak, al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad and Isḥāq say. Report a problem
