حَدَّثَنَا
وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ
سَلْمَانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ بَعْضُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَهُمْ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِهِ : إِنِّي لَأَرَى صَاحِبَكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ حَتَّى الْخِرَاءَةِ ! ، قَالَ سَلْمَانُ : أَجَلْ ،
" أَمَرَنَا أَنْ لَا نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ ، وَلَا نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِأَيْمَانِنَا ، وَلَا نَكْتَفِيَ بِدُونِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا رَجِيعٌ وَلَا عَظْمٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Salman Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some polytheists mocked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "We see that your Prophet even teaches you the manner of relieving yourselves." Hazrat Salman Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Yes! He commands us that we should not face the Qiblah at that time, should not clean ourselves with the right hand, and should not suffice with less than three stones, nor with dung or bone."
