Bayhaqi 1230 — A large amount of water becomes impure if impurity

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا الرَّبِيعُ، ثنا الشَّافِعِيُّ، قَالَ: وَمَا قُلْتُ مِنْ أَنَّهُ إِذَا تَغَيَّرَ طَعْمُ الْمَاءِ وَلَوْنُهُ وَرِيحُهُ كَانَ نَجِسًا، يُرْوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ لَا يُثْبِتُ أَهْلُ الْحَدِيثِ مِثْلَهُ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الْعَامَّةِ لَا أَعْلَمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِيهِ خِلَافًا ".
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The narration that "when the taste, smell and colour of water change, it becomes impure" is reported through a chain that is not established according to the scholars of hadith. This is the view of the majority; I do not know of any disagreement among them.
