و حَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْجَزَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الِاسْتِجْمَارُ تَوٌّ وَرَمْيُ الْجِمَارِ تَوٌّ وَالسَّعْيُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ تَوٌّ وَالطَّوَافُ تَوٌّ وَإِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجْمِرْ بِتَوٍّ
Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Salmah bin Syabib] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Hasan bin A'yan] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ma'qil bin Ubaidullah Al Jazari] dari [Abu Zubair] dari [Jabir] ia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Istijmar (istinja') itu ganjil, melempar jumrah juga ganjil, Sa'i antara shafa dan marwa, serta thawaf (di Baitullah) juga ganjil. Maka apabila salah seorang di antara kalian beristijmar (bersuci dengan menggunakan batu), hendaklah ia bersuci dengan bilangan ganjil." (HR. Muslim: 2291)
Jabir (b. Abdullab) (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Odd number of stones are to be used for cleaning (the private parts after answering the call of nature), and casting of pebbles at the Jamras is to be done by odd numbers (seven), and (the number) of circuits between al-Safa' and al-Marwa is also odd (seven), and the number of circuits (around the Ka'ba) is also odd (seven). Whenever any one of you is required to use stones (for cleaning the private parts) he should use odd number of stones (three, five or seven). (Muslim: 2291)
