67. Ibn 'Umar narrated: "I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ while he was being asked about water in open areas of the land, and predators and beasts come to it." He said: "So Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: 'When the water is two Qullah it does not carry filth.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abdah (one of the narrators) said:] Muḥammad bin Ishāq said: "A Qullah refers to Jirār,[1] and a Qullah is the thing that drinking water is held in."[2]
Abū 'Eisā said: This is the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad and Ishāq. They say that when the water is two Qullah then nothing makes it impure, as long as it does not change its smell, and its taste. And they say, it is approximately fifty Qirbah (waterskins).

Commentary
The Ḥanafi scholars tried in vain to create confusion regarding the chain, text, meaning and about the implementation of this Hadīth; but all the objections and criticism of the Ḥanafi are extremely weak and baseless. The scholars of Hadīth refuted them with solid and firm answers, as Ḥāfiz Abdur-Raḥmān Muḇārakpuri and Shaikh Nāsiruddīn Al-Albānī (see: Tuhfa-tul-Aḥwadī 1/225; Ṣaḥīḥ Abū Dawūd, Hadīth: 56 and Irwa' 33, 172) did. Moreover, this Hadīth is authentic from aspects of text, chain and meaning.
