Arabic text

50 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ الْمُخَرِّمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «تَوَضَّأَ، فَلَمَّا اسْتَنْجَى دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ»

Commentary

Very often, washing with water does not remove bad smell from the hands. Rubbing them against soil gets rid of the bad odor and removes any sticky impurity that may cling on to a person's hands. In modern times, one can benefit by rubbing oneself with soap. Using earth or soil, therefore, is not compulsory.
