4660 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السِّينَانِيُّ، عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ بَيْعِ الْمَاءِ»

Commentary

Water is the basic necessity of humans and animals. Survival without water is not possible. Besides, Allāh, Most High, has made available abundant water free of cost. If there is water in excess of quenching one's thirst, it is one's obligatory duty to provide it to others free of cost. And if it is in excess after meeting one's needs of taking a bath and making ablution, it is essential to provide it to others for bath and ablution, free of cost.
