Sunan an-Nasai 400 (Book 4, Hadith 5) #15007
Performing Ghusl with Standing Water

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to use standing water that does not flow for performing Ghusl.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "None of you should urinate into standing water which does not flow and then perform Ghusl with it". (One of the narrators) Sufyan said: "They said to Hisham - meaning Ibn Hassan - 'Ayyub only attributed this Hadith to Abu Hurairah?' So he said: 'If Ayyub is not able to raise up a narration then he does not raise it'." 1 1 That is, he narrated it from Abu Hurairah, rather than from him from the Prophet while others narrated it in Marfu' form or "raised" to the Prophet And perhaps by: "If he is able to not raise it" he means: "If he is not able to raise it". And Allah knows best.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لاَ يَبُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْمَاءِ الدَّائِمِ الَّذِي لاَ يَجْرِي ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ ‏‏.‏‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالُوا لِهِشَامٍ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَسَّانَ - أَنَّ أَيُّوبَ إِنَّمَا يَنْتَهِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَى أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَيُّوبَ لَوِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ لاَ يَرْفَعَ حَدِيثًا لَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Hurairah, states that it is not permissible to use standing water that does not flow for performing Ghusl. The narrator Sufyan asked Hisham Ibn Hassan if Ayyub attributed this hadith to Abu Hurairah or if he raised it up from the Prophet. This means that some narrators narrated this hadith in a Marfu' form, which means they attributed it directly to the Prophet instead of attributing it to another narrator. It is important for Muslims to understand the importance of following Islamic teachings and laws when performing ablutions such as Ghusl. Not only should one be aware of what type of water can be used but also how much water should be used in order for their ablution to be valid according to Islamic teachings.
