It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for water for ablution, and it was said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "We did not find it (water) anywhere except in (a waterskin made from) the skin of a dead animal." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did you tan that skin?" They said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then bring it, for tanning is its purification."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abu Qurrah."
