The Prophet's Discernment of Filth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad went out to relieve himself and asked for three stones, but was given two stones and a piece of dung. He took the two stones and left the dung, saying it was riks (filthy).

Abdullah said: "Allah's Messenger went out to relieve himself. So he said: 'Bring me tree stones'." He said, "So I came with two stones and a piece of dung. So he took the two stones, and left the dung. He said: 'It is Riks (a degenerative or filthy thing)".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the discernment of filth by the Prophet Muhammad. When he went out to relieve himself, he asked for three stones but was given two stones and a piece of dung. He took the two stones and left the dung, saying it was riks or filthy. This hadith teaches us that we should be able to discern between what is clean or pure from what is unclean or impure in our lives. We should strive to keep ourselves away from anything that could be considered impure or filthy in order to maintain our spiritual purity as Muslims. It also teaches us that even though something may seem insignificant, such as a piece of dung, we should still take care not to bring it into our lives if it could potentially cause harm or lead us astray from Allah's path.
