2.8 Odd numbers when rinsing the nose and cleaning oneself with pebbles (istijmar)

٢۔٨ باب الإِيتَارِ فِي الاِسْتِنْثَارِ وَالاِسْتِجْمَارِ

(137) bukhari:161ʿAbdān > ʿAbdullāh > Yūnus > al-Zuhrī > Abū Idrīs > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever performs ablution should clean his nose with water by putting the water in it and then blowing it out, and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do it with odd number of stones."  

(١٣٧) البخاري:١٦١حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ  

(138) bukhari:3295Ibrāhīm b. Ḥamzah > Ibn Abū Ḥāzim > Yazīd > Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm > ʿĪsá b. Ṭalḥah > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night."  

(١٣٨) البخاري:٣٢٩٥حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أُرَاهُ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ ثَلاَثًا فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبِيتُ عَلَى خَيْشُومِهِ
