Explanation of the Book of Purification-19

The Shaykh :" And from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the place of relief, so he ordered me to bring him three stones, so I found two stones, and I did not find a third, so I brought him a piece of dried dung, so he took them and threw away the dried dung, and said: This is *rajis* or *ruks*

أتى النبيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الغائط ، فأمرني أن آتيه بثلاثة أحجار ، فوجدت حجرين ، ولم أجد ثالثاً ، فأتيته بروثة ، فأخذهما وألقى الروثة ، وقال : هذا رجس أو ركس

Al-Bukhari narrated it, and Ahmad and al-Daraqutni added:

Bring me something else

ائتني بغيرها

" :
His statement (may Allah be pleased with him): means the place of relieving oneself.
And that was so that he could use them for cleaning himself, so he found two stones but did not find the third, but he brought a piece of dried dung:
And the dried dung here is the dung of a donkey, not the dung of a camel, but rather it is the dung of a donkey, as evidenced by what follows in the hadith.
He says: meaning: he took the two stones.
This is *rajis* (impurity). Here he said: and did not say: 'This is,' considering the referent, meaning: this referent is *rajis*, and he does not mean this bringing, because Ibn Mas'ud brought something that is not *rajis*, which is the two stones.
Then he said (peace and blessings be upon him): , and the variation in wording is the same in meaning.
And the intended meaning of *rajis* here is *najas* (ritually impure).
" Ahmad and al-Daraqutni added

Bring me something else

اثتني بغيرها

" : meaning: other than the dried dung, because the dried dung is ritually impure, and the ritually impure cannot purify.
