It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): "I went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to relieve himself. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished, he said: "Find me something with which I can clean myself (istinja), and do not bring me any bone or dung."" He relates: "Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and stood up to pray, and I saw that whenever he (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed, he would do 'hana', meaning he would join both his hands together (performing tatbiq) and place them between his knees." Layth (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 'Ha'il' means a bone.
