Chapter on Water and Its Rules, and What is Permissible and Impermissible for Purification
وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« لاَ تَدَعْ فَضْلَ اَلسِّنَّوْرِ أَنْ تَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ إِنَّمَا هِيَ سَبُعٌ».
And with this chain of narration, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl, from Abu al-Sabbah, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
(Imam) Ali عليه السلام used to say: "Do not refrain from using the leftover water (su’r) of a cat for Wudu' (ablution); it is merely a predator (sabu‘)."
