حَدَّثَنَا عَتَّابٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهُ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ وَمَعَهُ عَظْمٌ حَائِلٌ وَبَعْرَةٌ وَفَحْمَةٌ فَقَالَ لَا تَسْتَنْجِيَنَّ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذَا إِذَا خَرَجْتَ إِلَى الْخَلَاءِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4375
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ood that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came to him on the night of the jinn, and he had an old bone, a piece of dung and a piece of charcoal with him. He said to him: Do not use any of these to clean yourself with when you go out to relieve yourself.
