حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ، عَنْ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الِاسْتِطَابَةِ ، فَقَالَ : " بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا رَجِيعٌ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : كَذَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُرْوَةَ .
Narrated Khuzaymah ibn Thabit: The Prophet ﷺ was asked about cleansing (after relieving oneself). He said: (One should cleanse oneself) with three stones which should be free from dung. Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been narrated by Abu Usamah and Ibn Numair from Hisham.

Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak in its chain of transmission. However, in an authentic hadith, the prohibition of performing istinja (purification after relieving oneself) with dung and bones is established. [صحيح مسلم، حديث : 262]
Most likely for this reason, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has declared it authentic.

Commentary:
The word (rajī‘) is used for dung, droppings, and human excrement alike. Here, it has been translated as dung and droppings because in other hadiths the word (rawth) is used, which refers specifically to the droppings of donkeys, horses, etc.
When using droppings and dung for istinja (ritual cleansing after relieving oneself) is prohibited, then the use of human excrement is, a fortiori, even more strictly prohibited. From the preceding narration, which is authentic, the prohibition of using dung and droppings is also established; therefore, in meaning, this narration is also authentic.
