66. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated: "It was said, 'O Allāh's Messenger! Shall we use the water of Buḍā'ah well to perform ablution while it is a well in which menstruation rags, flesh of dogs and the putrid are dumped?'" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: 'Indeed water is pure, nothing makes it impure.'" (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan. Abū Usāmah (one of the narrators) has done very well with this Hadīth. No one has reported the Hadīth of Abū Sa'eed about the well of Buḍā'ah better than what Abū Usāmah reported. And this Hadīth has been reported from more than one route from Abū Sa'eed.
There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Abbās and 'Āishah.

Commentary
1. According to Imām Ibn Al-Mundhir, the people of knowledge are agreed that whether the quantity of water is little or large, when an amount of impure element falls in it by which the taste of water, color or smell changes, it becomes impure.
2. According to some A'immah if the water is little it will become impure by an impure element, and if it is equal to two Qullah or more, and none of the three qualities is affected, it remains pure and the Hadīth of Qullatain supports this view.
