35. Abū Hurairah reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: "If anyone applies kohl to his eyes, then let him do so an odd number of times. Whoever does so has done good, and whoever does not, then there is no sin upon him. If anyone cleanses himself with stones after relieving himself,[1] let him do so an odd number of times. Whoever does so has done good, and whoever does not, then there is no sin upon him. If anyone eats, then whatever he removes from between his teeth with an instrument should be thrown away, and whatever he removes with his tongue should be swallowed. Whoever does so has done good, and whoever does not, then there is no sin upon him. Whoever comes to the toilet (Al-Ghā'it), then let him conceal himself, even if he cannot find anything to do so except by gathering a mound of sand and sitting with his back toward it. Indeed, Shaitān plays with the posteriors of the children of Ādam. Whoever does so has done good, and whoever does not, then there is no sin upon him.” (Da'if)

35 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، عَنِ الْحُصَيْنِ الْحُبْرَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنِ اكْتَحَلَ فَلْيُوتِرْ، مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقْدَ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ، مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ أَكَلَ فَمَا تَخَلَّلَ فَلْيَلْفِظْ، وَمَا لَاكَ بِلِسَانِهِ فَلْيَبْتَلِعْ، مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ أَتَى الْغَائِطَ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِلَّا أَنْ يَجْمَعَ كَثِيبًا مِنْ رَمْلٍ فَلْيَسْتَدْبِرْهُ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِمَقَاعِدِ بَنِي آدَمَ، مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، قَالَ: حُصَيْنٌ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ، وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخَيْرُ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخَيْرُ هُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
