[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ on the Night of the Jinn and he said to me, "Find three stones for me." So, I found two stones and a piece of dung for him. He took the two stones and cast away the dung, saying, "This is filth."  

الطبراني:٩٩٥٢حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الضَّبِّيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالَ لِي «الْتَمِسْ لِي ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْجَارٍ» فَوَجَدْتُ لَهُ حَجَرَيْنِ وَرَوْثَةً فَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَيْنِ وَأَلْقَى الرَّوْثَةَ وَقَالَ «هَذَا رِكْسٌ»
