Hadith 28

(The book) ‘Da’aim Al Islam’ –
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said regarding the water flowing by the carcass, and the faeces, and the blood: ‘One can perform Wud’u from it and drink, and nothing dirties it for as long as it does not change its description of its taste, and its colour, and its smell’’. [31]
And from him-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, said: ‘Nothing dirties the water’’. [32]
And from Abu Abdullah-asws, he-asws was asked about pool nearby to the Masjid, the menstruating woman inserts her hand in it, or the boy (inserting) his hand in it. He-asws said: ‘Perform Wud’u from it, for the water is such, nothing dirties it’’. [33]
And from him-asws, he-asws was asked about the stream happening to be nearby a town happening to have the faeces in it and the children urinate in it, and the animals urinate in it and excrete. He-asws said: ‘If something from it were to present your heart, then say like this and perform Wud’u’ – and he-asws indicated by his hand, i. e. , moved it and clef apart from part’’. [34]
And he-asws said: ‘The religion isn’t with narrowness. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: He did not Make any hardship upon you in the Religion [22: 78]’. And he-asws was asked about a stream wherein is a carcass. He-asws said: ‘If the water was prevailing, its smell cannot be found, then perform Wud’u’. And he-asws was asked as well about the stream being urinated it by the animals, and the dogs drink from it, and the one with sexual impurity and the menstruating woman washes from it. He said, ‘If it were to be a measurements of Kur (three palms cubed), nothing dirties it’. And he-asws was asked about the stream being urinated it by the animals and excreted, and the one with the sexual impurity washes in it. He-asws said: ‘There is no problem. Rasool-Allah‑saww was in a journey with his-saww companions. He-saww descended by a stream, and their animals were urinating in it and excreting. They were washing in it and performing Wud’u from it, and drinking’’. [35]
And from him-asws having said: ‘When the one with the sexual impurity passes by the water, and in it is the carcass or the dead, so if it were to have changed by that in its taste, or its smell, or its colour, he should neither drink from it, nor perform Wud’u, nor cleanse from it’’. [36]
And from him-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww was asked about the water frequented by the lions, and the dogs, and the beasts. He-asws said: ‘For them is what they take with their mouths, and for you is what remains’’. [37]
