Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas is reported to have, said: By Allah, I am the first person amongst the Arabs to throw an arrow in the cause of Allah and we used to go with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and there was no food for us to eat but only the leaves of hubla and samur trees (they are wild trees) and as a result thereof one amongst us would relieve himself as does the goat. (How strange it is) that now the people of Banu Asad (the progeny of Zubair) instruct me in religion and try to impose punishment upon me (in regard to it). If it is so (that I am so ignorant of religion), then indeed, I am undone and my deeds have been lost. Ibn Numair, however, did not make a mention of the word (idhan) thus (in his narration).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Isma'il bin Khalid with the same chain of transmitters and the words are: "One amongst us would relieve himself as the goats do without anything mixing with its excrement."
