65. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If the water is two Qullah, then it will not become impure." (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Ḥammād bin Zaid narrated this in a Mawqūf form from 'Āšim.[1]

Arabic text

65 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْجُسُ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَقَفَهُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ

Commentary

1. A Qullah refers to a large container. It is said that two Qullahs is equal to about 210 liters of water. 2. "If the water is two Qullahs, then it will not become impure," means if filth falls into that much water, the water does not become impure provided its color, taste and smell have not been altered by the filth. If any filth is visible to the eye, it should be removed, and the water may be used.
