I see that your friend even teaches you about the excrement. He replied; Yes, he has in fact forbidden us that anyone amongst us should cleanse himself with his right hand, or face the Qibla. He has forbidden the use of dung or bone for it, and he has also instructed us not to use less than three pebbles (for this purpose). (Using translation from Muslim 262b)
قَالَ لَهُ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِنَّا نَرَى صَاحِبَكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ حَتَّى يُعَلِّمَكُمُ الْخِرَاءَةَ؟ قَالَ أَجَلْ إِنَّهُ نَهَانَا أَنْ يَسْتَنْجِيَ أَحَدُنَا بِيَمِينِهِ وَأَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَنَهَانَا عَنِ الرَّوْثِ وَالْعِظَامِ وَقَالَ لَا يَسْتَنْجِ أَحَدُكُمْ بِدُونِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ
