75- مالك عن ابن شهاب عن أبى إدريس الخولاني عن أبى هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”من توضأ فليستنثر، ومن استجمر فليوتر .“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution should clean his nose by sniffing water and whoever uses stones for istinja should use an odd number, that is, three or five stones."
