أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا الشَّافِعِيُّ، ثنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، بِإِسْنَادٍ لَا يَحْضُرُنِي ذِكْرُهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يَحْمِلْ خَبَثًا " وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ بِقِلَالِ هَجَرَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ قِلَالَ هَجَرَ، فَالْقُلَّةُ تَسَعُ قِرْبَتَيْنِ أَوْ قِرْبَتَيْنِ وَشَيْئًا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: كَانَ مُسْلِمٌ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ أَقَلُّ مِنْ نِصْفِ الْقِرْبَةِ أَوْ نِصْفِ الْقِرْبَةِ، فَيَقُولُ: خَمْسُ قِرَبٍ هُوَ أَكْثَرُ مَا يَسَعُ قُلَّتَيْنِ وَقَدْ تَكُونُ الْقُلَّتَانِ أَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسِ قِرَبٍ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: فَالِاحْتِيَاطُ أَنْ تَكُونَ الْقُلَّةُ قِرْبَتَيْنِ وَنِصْفًا فَإِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ خَمْسَ قِرَبٍ لَمْ يَحْمِلْ نَجِسًا فِي جِرٍّ كَانَ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَظْهَرَ فِي الْمَاءِ مِنْهُ رِيحٌ أَوْ طَعْمٌ أَوْ لَوْنٌ، قَالَ: وَقِرَبُ الْحِجَازِ كِبَارٌ فَلَا يَكُونُ الْمَاءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحْمِلُ النَّجَاسَةُ إِلَّا بِقِرَبٍ كِبَارٍ.
Ibn Jurayj narrates through a chain, the mention of which I do not recall, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the water amounts to two large jars, it does not carry filth (that is, it does not become impure)."
In the hadith he said: "by the jars of Hajar." Ibn Jurayj said: I have seen the jars of Hajar; a jar holds two waterskins, or two waterskins and something more.
Al-Shafi'i said: Muslim (bin Khalid) held that this "something more" was less than half a waterskin, or half a waterskin, so he would say: Five waterskins is the most that two jars hold, and two jars may be less than five waterskins. Al-Shafi'i said: Precaution is that a jar be reckoned as two and a half waterskins; so when the water amounts to five waterskins it does not carry impurity, whether it is in a jar or elsewhere, unless its smell, taste or colour appears in the water. He said: The waterskins of the Hijaz are large, so the water that does not carry impurity is reckoned only by large waterskins.
