حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِحَاجَتِهِ فَقَالَ " الْتَمِسْ لِي ثَلاَثَةَ أَحْجَارٍ " . قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِحَجَرَيْنِ وَرَوْثَةٍ فَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَيْنِ وَأَلْقَى الرَّوْثَةَ وَقَالَ " إِنَّهَا رِكْسٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَكَذَا رَوَى قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ إِسْرَائِيلَ . وَرَوَى مَعْمَرٌ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ رُزَيْقٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ . وَرَوَى زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ . وَرَوَى زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ . وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ فِيهِ اضْطِرَابٌ . حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هَلْ تَذْكُرُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ لاَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : أَيُّ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق أَصَحُّ ؟ فَلَمْ يَقْضِ فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ , وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا عَنْ هَذَا ؟ فَلَمْ يَقْضِ فِيهِ بِشَيْءٍ وَكَأَنَّهُ رَأَى حَدِيثَ زُهَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَشْبَهَ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْجَامِعِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَأَصَحُّ شَيْءٍ فِي هَذَا عِنْدِي حَدِيثُ إِسْرَائِيلَ , وَقَيْسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، لِأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَثْبَتُ وَأَحْفَظُ لِحَدِيثِ أَبِي إِسْحَاق مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ ، وَتَابَعَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : سَمِعْت أَبَا مُوسَى مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْمُثَنَّى ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ ، يَقُولُ : مَا فَاتَنِي الَّذِي فَاتَنِي مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق إِلَّا لِمَا اتَّكَلْتُ بِهِ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَزُهَيْرٌ فِي أَبِي إِسْحَاق لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ لِأَنَّ سَمَاعَهُ مِنْهُ بِآخِرَةٍ ، قَالَ : وسَمِعْت أَحْمَدَ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ التِّرْمِذِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ ، يَقُولُ : إِذَا سَمِعْتَ الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ وَزُهَيْرٍ فلا تبالي أن لا تسمعه من غيرهما إلا حديث أبي إسحاق ، وأبو إسحاق اسمه : عمرو بن عبد الله السبيعي الهمداني , وأبو عبيدة بن عبد الله بن مسعود لم يسمع من أبيه ولا يعرف اسمه
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Hannad and Qutaybah said: Waki' narrated to us, from Isra'il, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu 'Ubaydah, from 'Abd Allah, who said: The Prophet ﷺ went out to relieve himself and said: "Find me three stones." I brought him two stones and a piece of dung. He took the two stones, discarded the dung, and said: "It is filth." Abu 'Isa said: Qays ibn al-Rabi' narrated this hadith from Abu Ishaq, from Abu 'Ubaydah, from 'Abd Allah, similarly to Isra'il's narration. Ma'mar and 'Ammar ibn Ruzayq narrated it from Abu Ishaq, from 'Alqamah, from 'Abd Allah. Zuhayr narrated it from Abu Ishaq, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad, from his father al-Aswad ibn Yazid, from 'Abd Allah. Zakariyya ibn Abi Za'idah narrated it from Abu Ishaq, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, from al-Aswad ibn Yazid, from 'Abd Allah. This hadith has inconsistency in its chain. Muhammad ibn Bashshar al-'Abdi narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us; Shu'bah narrated to us, from 'Amr ibn Murrah, who said: I asked Abu 'Ubaydah ibn 'Abd Allah whether he remembered anything from 'Abd Allah, and he said: No. Abu 'Isa said: I asked 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman which of the narrations of this hadith from Abu Ishaq was sounder, but he gave no judgment. I asked Muhammad about it, and he also gave no judgment, though it seemed he considered Zuhayr's report from Abu Ishaq, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad, from his father, from 'Abd Allah, more plausible, and he included it in the Jami' book. Abu 'Isa said: In my view, the soundest reports here are those of Isra'il and Qays, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu 'Ubaydah, from 'Abd Allah, because Isra'il was more reliable and had better retention of Abu Ishaq's hadith than these others, and Qays ibn al-Rabi' agreed with him in this. Abu 'Isa said: I heard Abu Musa Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna say: I heard 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi say: I missed what I missed of Sufyan al-Thawri's hadith from Abu Ishaq only because I relied on Isra'il. Abu 'Isa said: Zuhayr's transmission from Abu Ishaq is not that strong, because he heard from him late in life. He said: I heard Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Tirmidhi say: I heard Ahmad ibn Hanbal say: If you hear a hadith from Za'idah and Zuhayr, you need not seek it from anyone else—except the hadith of Abu Ishaq. Abu Ishaq's name was 'Amr ibn 'Abd Allah al-Sabi'i al-Hamdani. Abu 'Ubaydah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud did not hear from his father, and his personal name is not known.

قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِحَجَرَيْنِ وَرَوْثَةٍ فَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَيْنِ وَأَلْقَى الرَّوْثَةَ وَقَالَ " إِنَّهَا رِكْسٌ " .
Riks is a rare term rendered here broadly as filth; the English witness offers multiple glosses.
Should this term be retained in transliteration with a reviewed gloss?
