حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، عَنِ الْحُصَيْنِ - كَذَا قَالَ - عَنْ أَبِي سَعْدِ الْخَيْرِ - وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عُمَرَ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنِ اكْتَحَلَ فَلْيُوتِرْ، وَمَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ (١) ، وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ، وَمَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ أَكَلَ فَمَا تَخَلَّلَ فَلْيَلْفِظْ، وَمَنْ لَاكَ بِلِسَانِهِ فَلْيَبْتَلِعْ، مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ أَتَى الْغَائِطَ فَلْيَسْتَتِرْ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ إِلَّا أَنْ يَجْمَعَ كَثِيبًا فَلْيَسْتَدْبِرْهُ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِمَقَاعِدِ بَنِي آدَمَ، مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ، وَمَنْ لَا فَلَا حَرَجَ " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Whoever applies kohl should observe an odd number; if he observes it, it is very good, otherwise there is no harm. And whoever performs istinja with stones should observe an odd number; if he observes it, it is very good, otherwise there is no harm. And whoever eats food should throw away the toothpick and swallow what has been chewed with the tongue; if he observes it, it is very good, otherwise there is no harm. Whoever goes to the toilet should observe covering the private parts; if he finds nothing except a mound, he should turn his back towards it, because Satan plays with the private parts of the children of Adam; if he does so, it is very good, otherwise there is no harm.
