Commentary
This Hadīth makes mention of purifying oneself with water after relieving oneself, purification with water after relieving oneself, is proven through the authentic Aḥādīth. The aim of the Verse is that these people would take great care of both purifications, apparent and hidden. Allāh Almighty loves such pure people. As for the issue of cleansing with stones after relieving oneself, there is no doubt in its status of desirability; though there is no authentic Hadīth with regard to the issue that the people of Qubā would use both substances at a time for purification.
