حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُصْعَبٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنْ الْحِيَاضِ الَّتِي بَيْنَ مَکَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ تَرِدُهَا السِّبَاعُ وَالْکِلَابُ وَالْحُمُرُ وَعَنْ الطَّهَارَةِ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا حَمَلَتْ فِي بُطُونِهَا وَلَنَا مَا غَبَرَ طَهُورٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 519
. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet was asked about the water basins located between Makkah and Al-Madinah, which were visited by wild animals, dogs and donkeys, and about using them for means of purification. He said, "Whatever they (the animals) have carried in their bellies is for them, and whatever is left over is for us, and is pure."
