45. Abū Hurairah narrated: "When the Prophet ﷺ would go to the area in which he would relieve himself, I would bring him water in a pot, or (sometimes) a leather container, for Istinjā' [Abū Dāwud said: In Waki's narration:] Then he would wipe his hand on the ground. Then I would bring him another container for Wudū'." (Hasan) Abū Dāwud said: The narration of Aswad bin Āmir is more complete.[1]

It is recommended to rub one's hand on earth after relieving oneself. This ensures greater purity and removes any bad odor. In places where clean earth is not available, as in cities, soap is a good substitute.
