English translation

155. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: I followed the Prophet ﷺ while he was going out to answer the call of nature. He used not to look this way or that. So, when I approached near him he said to me, "Fetch me some stones for cleaning the private parts (or said something similar), and do not bring a bone or a piece of dung(1)." So I brought the stones in the corner of my garment and placed them by his side and I then went away from him. When he finished (from answering the call of nature) he used them.

Arabic text

155 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ المَكِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو المَكِّيُّ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: اتَّبَعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَخَرَجَ لِحَاجَتِهِ، فَكَانَ لاَ يَلْتَفِتُ، فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ، فَقَالَ: «ابْغِنِي أَحْجَارًا أَسْتَنْفِضْ بِهَا - أَوْ نَحْوَهُ - وَلاَ تَأْتِنِي بِعَظْمٍ، وَلاَ رَوْثٍ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِأَحْجَارٍ بِطَرَفِ ثِيَابِي، فَوَضَعْتُهَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، وَأَعْرَضْتُ عَنْهُ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى أَتْبَعَهُ بِهِنَّ»
