The Purification of Water

SUMMARY: Water that is two Qullah in size does not carry filth.

Ibn Umar narrated: "I heard AlIah's Messenger while he was being asked about water in open areas of the land, and predators and beasts come to it". He said: 'So Allah's Messenger said: 'When the water is two Qullah it does not carry filth'."
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ يُسْأَلُ عَنِ الْمَاءِ يَكُونُ فِي الْفَلاَةِ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَمَا يَنُوبُهُ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَالدَّوَابِّ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يَحْمِلِ الْخَبَثَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدَةُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقُلَّةُ هِيَ الْجِرَارُ وَالْقُلَّةُ الَّتِي يُسْتَقَى فِيهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ قَالُوا إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يُنَجِّسْهُ شَيْءٌ مَا لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ رِيحُهُ أَوْ طَعْمُهُ وَقَالُوا يَكُونُ نَحْوًا مِنْ خَمْسِ قِرَبٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Ibn Umar, speaks about the purification of water. It states that if the water is two qullah in size, it will not carry any filth or impurities. A qullah is a unit of measurement used to measure liquids and grains and it is equivalent to four mudds which are equal to approximately 1 liter. Therefore, this hadith implies that if the water is more than one liter in size then it will be considered pure and can be used for religious purposes such as wudu or ghusl. This hadith also teaches us about cleanliness and hygiene as we should always strive to use clean water for our daily activities.
