Commentary
Imām An-Nasā'ī considers the phrase "its contents should be thrown away" to be Shaadh - in Hadīth terminology, this means that the wording of a Hadīth is reported by only one narrator; his other companions and contemporaries do not narrate it. This arouses suspicion that the narrator probably committed an error. That being said, syntactically the wording stands to reason.
