One does not clean oneself with dung
أَتَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْغَائِطَ، فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِثَلاَثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ، فَوَجَدْتُ حَجَرَيْنِ، وَالْتَمَسْتُ الثَّالِثَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهُ، فَأَخَذْتُ رَوْثَةً، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا، فَأَخَذَ الْحَجَرَيْنِ وَأَلْقَى الرَّوْثَةَ وَقَالَ " هَذَا رِكْسٌ ".

Translation
Ibn Mas'ud reported: The Prophet ﷺ went to relieve himself and told me to bring him three stones. I found two stones and looked for the third, but did not find it, so I took a piece of dung and brought it to him. He took the two stones, threw away the dung and said, “This is filth.”

Ibn Mas'ud berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ ging zur Verrichtung der Notdurft und trug mir auf, ihm drei Steine zu bringen. Ich fand zwei Steine, suchte den dritten, fand ihn aber nicht. Da nahm ich ein Stück Dung und brachte es ihm. Er nahm die beiden Steine, warf den Dung weg und sagte: „Das ist unrein.“
