Hadith 67
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ ، وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَرَّانِيَّانِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ سَلِيطِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ثُمَّ الْعَدَوِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُقَالُ لَهُ : إِنَّهُ يُسْتَقَى لَكَ مِنْ بِئْرِ بُضَاعَةَ ، وَهِيَ بِئْرٌ يُلْقَى فِيهَا لُحُومُ الْكِلَابِ وَالْمَحَايِضُ وَعَذِرُ النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْمَاءَ طَهُورٌ لَا يُنَجِّسُهُ شَيْءٌ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وسَمِعْت قُتَيْبَةَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ قَيِّمَ بِئْرِ بُضَاعَةَ عَنْ عُمْقِهَا . قَالَ : أَكْثَرُ مَا يَكُونُ فِيهَا الْمَاءُ إِلَى الْعَانَةِ ، قُلْتُ : فَإِذَا نَقَصَ ؟ قَالَ : دُونَ الْعَوْرَةِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَقَدَّرْتُ أَنَا بِئْرَ بُضَاعَةَ بِرِدَائِي مَدَدْتُهُ عَلَيْهَا ، ثُمَّ ذَرَعْتُهُ فَإِذَا عَرْضُهَا سِتَّةُ أَذْرُعٍ ، وَسَأَلْتُ الَّذِي فَتَحَ لِي بَابَ الْبُسْتَانِ ، فَأَدْخَلَنِي إِلَيْهِ ، هَلْ غُيِّرَ بِنَاؤُهَا عَمَّا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا . وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا مَاءً مُتَغَيِّرَ اللَّوْنِ .
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah ﷺ: Water is brought for you from the well of Budaah. It is a well in which dead dogs, menstrual clothes and excrement of people are thrown. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: Verily water is pure and is not defiled by anything. Abu Dawud said I heard Qutaibah bin Saeed say: I asked the person in charge of the well of Bud'ah about the depth of the well. He replied: At most the water reaches pubes. Then I asked: Where does it reach when its level goes down ? He replied: Below the private part of the body. Abu Dawud said: I measured the breadth of the well of Budaah with my sheet which I stretched over it. I them measured it with the hand. It measured six cubits in breadth. I then asked the man who opened the door of garden for me and admitted me to it: Has the condition of this well changed from what it had originally been in the past ? He replied: No. I saw the color of water in this well had changed.
