Hadith 754
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ الْمَاءِ يَكُونُ بِالْفَلَاةِ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَنُوبُهُ مِنْ الدَّوَابِّ وَالسِّبَاعِ ؟، فَقَالَ: "إِذَا بَلَغَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يُنَجِّسْهُ شَيْءٌ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): I heard that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the water in the wilderness from which cattle and wild animals drink (whether it can be used). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the amount of water reaches two qullahs, nothing makes it impure (filthy)."
Brief Explanation
Explanation of Hadith 753
Qullah refers to a large earthenware jar; its dual form is qullatan, which in the genitive case becomes qullatayn. According to modern measurements, the quantity of qullatayn is two hundred and twenty-seven kilograms.
The meaning of this hadith is that if the amount of water is less than two jars, it becomes impure merely by the falling of impurity into it, whether its color, smell, or taste changes or not. And if the amount of water is more than two qullah, then it will not be considered impure until one of the aforementioned three characteristics changes.
For details, see Sharh Bulugh al-Maram by Mawlana Safiur Rahman (hafizahullah), Hadith number (4).
