Arabic text

521 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيَّانِ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْمَاءَ لَا يُنَجِّسُهُ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا مَا غَلَبَ عَلَى رِيحِهِ وَطَعْمِهِ وَلَوْنِهِ»

Commentary

Although, as to the chain of transmission, the Hadith is 'Weak', yet there is consensus among the scholars on the point that water whose basic characteristic has been changed because of some impurity is no longer good as a means of purification.
