Sunan Ibn Majah 520 (Book 1, Hadith 254) #29872
The Purity of Water

SUMMARY: Water is not made impure by anything and can be used for drinking and other purposes.

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "We came to a pond in which there was the carcass of a donkey, so we refrained from using the water until the Messenger of Allah came to us and said: 'Water is not made impure by anything'. Then we drank from it and gave it to our animals to drink, and we carried some with us".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ طَرِيفِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى غَدِيرٍ فَإِذَا فِيهِ جِيفَةُ حِمَارٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَكَفَفْنَا عَنْهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْمَاءَ لاَ يُنَجِّسُهُ شَىْءٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَاسْتَقَيْنَا وَأَرْوَيْنَا وَحَمَلْنَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the purity of water. It was narrated by Jabir bin 'Abdullah that they came to a pond which contained the carcass of a donkey, so they refrained from using the water until the Messenger of Allah came to them and said that water is not made impure by anything. This means that even if something unclean or impure falls into it, it does not make the water itself impure or unclean. Therefore, they were able to drink from it as well as give it to their animals to drink and carry some with them for later use. This hadith teaches us an important lesson about cleanliness and purity; we should always strive to keep our environment clean but also remember that even if something unclean falls into our environment, we should still be able to make use of what we have in a safe manner without fear or worry about contamination or pollution.
