Hisham has narrated this: The narrator named Abu Wajzah has reported from ‘Ammarah bin Khuzaymah, from his father (Sayyiduna Khuzaymah bin Thabit al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “(Among these stones) there should not be any dung.”
Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father regarding the statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about a person who comes to relieve himself. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Does a person not find three stones?"

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.
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
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.

´It was narrated that Khuzaimah bin Thabit said:` "The Messenger of Allah said: 'For cleaning yourself you need three stones, no one of them being dung.'"
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
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.
