44. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The Verse: ‘In it are men that love to purify themselves...’[1] was revealed concerning the people of Qubā’.” He (Abū Hurairah) said: “They used to purify themselves with water. So this Verse was revealed concerning them.” (Hasan)

Arabic text

44 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي أَهْلِ قُبَاءٍ: {فِيهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا} [التوبة: 108] "، قَالَ: «كَانُوا يَسْتَنْجُونَ بِالْمَاءِ، فَنَزَلَتْ فِيهِمْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ»

Commentary

Using water to cleanse oneself of impurities after relieving oneself is recommended, while stones or the like will suffice.
