Hadith #12
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ لَيْسَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ذَكَرَهُ وَلَكِنْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَى الْخ
َلَاءَ وَقَالَ ائْتِنِي بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ فَالْتَمَسْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ حَجَرَيْنِ وَلَمْ أَجِدْ الثَّالِثَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِحَجَرَيْنِ وَرَوْثَةٍ فَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَيْنِ وَأَلْقَى الرَّوْثَةَ وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا رِكْسٌ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via Sulayman ibn Dawud, from Zuhayr, from Abi Ishaq — [Abu Ishaq] said: It was not Abu 'Ubayda who mentioned it, but 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad, from his father — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to relieve himself and said: Bring me three stones. I searched and found two stones but could not find the third, so I brought him two stones and a piece of dung. He took the two stones, threw away the dung, and said: This is filth [riks].
