Sunan Ibn Majah 358 — One who rubs his hand on the ground after

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَنْجَى مِنْ تَوْرٍ ، ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that:` The Prophet relieved himself, then he cleaned himself (with water) from a pot made of brass, then he wiped his hand on the ground. Another chain with similar wording.
قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ ، نَحْوَهُ .
A hadith with the same meaning is also narrated through this chain.

Explanation & Benefits

Commentary:
Rubbing the hands on earth and then washing them results in greater cleanliness.
Nowadays, using soap and similar substances for this purpose is also permissible; however, it is not obligatory.
Simply washing the hands with water is also sufficient.
