Sunan Ibn Majah 517 (Book 1, Hadith 251) #29869
Purification of Water in Wilderness

SUMMARY: Water in the wilderness that is frequented by beasts and predators is not impure if it reaches two Qullah.

It was narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that his father said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah being asked about water in the wilderness that is frequented by beasts and predators. The Messenger of Allah said: "If the water reaches the amount of two Qullah, nothing can make it impure (Najis)'." (Sahih) Another chain with similar wording.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْمَاءِ يَكُونُ بِالْفَلاَةِ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَمَا يَنُوبُهُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ وَالسِّبَاعِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِذَا بَلَغَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يُنَجِّسْهُ شَىْءٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ نَحْوَهُ

Check for purity before consuming any liquid or food item
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that water found in the wilderness which is frequented by beasts and predators can be considered pure if it reaches two qullah. A qullah is a measure of volume used during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that his father said he heard the Messenger of Allah being asked about water in the wilderness that is frequented by beasts and predators. The Messenger of Allah said “If the water reaches two qullas then nothing can make it impure” meaning it will remain pure even if animals drink from it or other things happen to contaminate it. This hadith teaches us to be mindful when drinking water from unknown sources as we should always check for purity before consuming any liquid or food item.
