315 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي خُزَيْمَةَ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ، عَنْ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فِي الِاسْتِنْجَاءِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَحْجَارٍ، لَيْسَ فِيهَا رَجِيعٌ»

Commentary
The term Raji' used in the Hadith includes both the dung and the excrement. Here it has been translated as dung. And since even the dung is ruled out for the purpose of cleaning, interdiction on the use of human excrement can very well be understood or surmised.
