None of you should clean himself with less than three stones

Narrated by Muslim · Authentic

عَنْ سَلْمَانَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنه قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ: إِنِّي أَرَى صَاحِبَكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ حَتَّى يُعَلِّمَكُمُ الْخِرَاءَةَ، فَقَالَ: أَجَلْ، إِنَّهُ نَهَانَا أَنْ يَسْتَنْجِيَ أَحَدُنَا بِيَمِينِهِ، أَوْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَنَهَى عَنِ الرَّوْثِ وَالْعِظَامِ وَقَالَ: «لَا يَسْتَنْجِي أَحَدُكُمْ بِدُونِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ».

“Salmān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The polytheists said to us: I see that your companion teaches you everything, even how to relieve yourselves. He said: Yes, indeed. He forbade us from using our right hand for cleaning ourselves, or facing the Qiblah (direction of prayer), and he prohibited us from using dung and bones, and said: "None of you should clean himself with less than three stones."”
