Narrated to us Haywah ibn Shurayh al-Himsi, narrated to us Ibn Ayyash, from Yahya ibn Abi Amr al-Saybani, from Abdullah ibn al-Daylami, from Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, who said: “The delegation of the jinn came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said, ‘O Muhammad, it is a practice among your nation to use bones, dung, or charcoal for istinja. Indeed, Allah has made provision for us in them.’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) then forbade that.”
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو السَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَدِمَ وَفْدُ الْجِنِّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ انْهَ أُمَّتَكَ أَنْ يَسْتَنْجُوا بِعَظْمٍ أَوْ رَوْثَةٍ أَوْ حُمَمَةٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ لَنَا فِيهَا رِزْقًا . قَالَ فَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ ذَلِكَ .
