3860. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ, that once he was in the company of the Prophet ﷺ carrying a water pot for his ablution and for cleaning his private parts. While he was following him carrying it (i.e., the pot), the Prophet ﷺ said, "Who is this?" He said, "I am Abū Hurairah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Bring me stones in order to clean my private parts, and do not bring any bones or animal dung." Abū Hurairah went on narrating: So, I brought some stones, carrying them in the corner of my robe till I put them by his side and went away. When he finished, I walked with him and asked, "What about the bone and the animal dung?" He said, "They are of the food of jinn. The delegate of jinn of (the city of) Naṣībīn came to me — and how nice those jinn were — and asked me for the remains of the human food. I invoked Allāh for them that they would never pass by a bone or animal dung but find food on them."
