Bayhaqi 524 — Cleaning oneself with what takes the place of stones

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْقُرَشِيُّ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يَتْبَعُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِإِدَاوَةٍ لِوُضُوئِهِ وَحَاجَتِهِ وَقَالَ: فَأَدْرَكَهُ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ: " مَنْ هَذَا؟ ". قَالَ: أَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: " ابْغِنِي أَحْجَارًا أَسْتَنْفِضْ بِهَا، وَلَا تَأْتِنِي بِعَظْمٍ، وَلَا رَوْثٍ ". فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِأَحْجَارٍ فِي ثَوْبِي، فَوَضَعْتُهَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ وَقَامَ تَبِعْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا بَالُ الْعَظْمِ وَالرَّوْثِ؟ فَقَالَ: " أَتَانِي وَفْدُ نَصِيبِينَ فَسَأَلُونِي الزَّادَ، فَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ لَهُمْ أَنْ لَا يَمُرُّوا بِرَوْثَةٍ وَلَا بِعَظْمٍ إِلَّا وَجَدُوا عَلَيْهِ طَعَامًا ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to follow the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a vessel of water for his ablution and his call of nature. One day he (peace and blessings be upon him) found him and asked: "Who is this?" He said: I am Abu Hurayrah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Find me some stones so that I may clean myself, and do not bring me a bone or dung." I brought stones in my garment and placed them by his (peace and blessings be upon him) side, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished and stood up, and I followed him (peace and blessings be upon him).
I said: O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter with bones and dung? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The delegation of Nasibin came to me and asked me for provision, so I prayed to Allah for them that they would not pass by any dung or bone without finding food on it."
