حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي جَدِّي ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : " أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَحْمِلُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِدَاوَةً لِوَضُوئِهِ وَحَاجَتِهِ , فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتْبَعُهُ بِهَا ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ : أَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، فَقَالَ : " ابْغِنِي أَحْجَارًا أَسْتَنْفِضْ بِهَا , وَلَا تَأْتِنِي بِعَظْمٍ وَلَا بِرَوْثَةٍ " , فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِأَحْجَارٍ أَحْمِلُهَا فِي طَرَفِ ثَوْبِي حَتَّى وَضَعْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ مَشَيْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَا بَالُ الْعَظْمِ وَالرَّوْثَةِ ؟ قَالَ : " هُمَا مِنْ طَعَامِ الْجِنِّ وَإِنَّهُ أَتَانِي وَفْدُ جِنِّ نَصِيبِينَ وَنِعْمَ الْجِنُّ , فَسَأَلُونِي الزَّادَ , فَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ لَهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَمُرُّوا بِعَظْمٍ وَلَا بِرَوْثَةٍ إِلَّا وَجَدُوا عَلَيْهَا طَعَامًا " .
Narrated Abu Huraira: That once he was in the, company of the Prophet carrying a water pot for his ablution and for cleaning his private parts. While he was following him carrying it(i.e. the pot), the Prophet said, "Who is this?" He said, "I am Abu Huraira." The Prophet said, "Bring me stones in order to clean my private parts, and do not bring any bones or animal dung." Abu Huraira went on narrating: So I brought some stones, carrying them in the corner of my robe till I put them by his side and went away. When he finished, I walked with him and asked, "What about the bone and the animal dung?" He said, "They are of the food of Jinns. The delegate of Jinns of (the city of) Nasibin came to me--and how nice those Jinns were--and asked me for the remains of the human food. I invoked Allah for them that they would never pass by a bone or animal dung but find food on them."

Hadith Commentary:
That is, by Allah’s power, food for them and their animals will be produced on bones and dung.
It is said that the jinn came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) several times.
Once, in the valley of Nakhlah, where he was reciting the Qur’an.
These were seven jinn. The second time was at Hajun, the third time at Baqi’.
On those nights, Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radi Allahu anhu) was with him.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) drew a line on the ground for them to sit.
The fourth time was outside Madinah, in which Zubair ibn al-Awwam (radi Allahu anhu) was present. The fifth time was during a journey in which Bilal ibn Harith was with him.
The existence of jinn is established from the Qur’an and Hadith. Those who deny the jinn, even if they are called Muslims, are in fact denying the Qur’an and Hadith.
Such people should be concerned for the well-being of their faith.
