Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:That once he was in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) carrying a water pot for his ablution and for cleaning his private parts. While he was following him carrying it (i.e. the pot), the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Who is this?" He said, "I am Abu Huraira." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Bring me stones in order to clean my private parts, and do not bring any bones or animal dung." Abu Huraira went on narrating: So I brought some stones, carrying them in the corner of my robe till I put them by his side and went away. When he finished, I walked with him and asked, "What about the bone and the animal dung?" He said, "They are of the food of Jinns. The delegate of Jinns of (the city of) Nasibin came to me--and how nice those Jinns were--and asked me for the remains of the human food. I invoked Allah for them that they would never pass by a bone or animal dung but find food on them

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Ek baar woh Nabi ki sohbat mein the, unke liye wudu aur apni sharma-sthanon ki safaee ke liye paani ka bartan le jate hue. Jabke woh unke peeche use lekar chal rahe the, Nabi ne pucha, "Yeh kaun hai?" Unhone kaha, "Main Abu Huraira hoon." Nabi ne kaha, "Mere liye pathar lao mere sharma-sthanon ki safaee ke liye, aur koi haddi ya janwar ki laid mat laana." Abu Huraira ne aage bataya: Isliye main kuch pathar laaya, apne kapde ke kone mein rakhkar, jab tak maine unhe unke bagal mein rakha aur chala gaya. Jab woh khatam hue, main unke saath chala aur pucha, "Haddi aur janwar ki laid ke baare mein kya?" Unhone kaha, "Woh Jinnon ka khaana hai. Nasibin shehar ke Jinnon ka ek wafd mere paas aaya — aur woh kaise achhe Jinn the! — aur unhone mujhse insaanon ke khaane ke bache hue hisson ke baare mein pucha. Maine unke liye Allah se dua ki taaki jab bhi unhe koee haddi ya janwar ki laid mile, unhe uspar khaana mile."
