أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ کَثِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْمَائِ وَمَا يَنُوبُهُ مِنْ الدَّوَابِّ وَالسِّبَاعِ فَقَالَ إِذَا کَانَ الْمَائُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يَحْمِلْ الْخَبَثَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 52
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was asked about water and how some animals and carnivorous beasts might drink from it. He said: ‘If the water is more than two Qullahs, it will not carry filth.” (Sahih)
