Chapter on Water and Its Rules, and What is Permissible and Impermissible for Purification

مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ يُشْرَبُ سُؤْرُ شَيْءٍ مِنَ اَلدَّوَابِّ وَ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ قَالَ« أَمَّا اَلْإِبِلُ وَاَلْبَقَرُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Abu al-Qasim Ja'far ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from Abu Dawud, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from his brother al-Hasan, from Zur'ah, from Sama‘ah, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام: "Can the leftover water (su’r) of any of the animals be drunk or used for Wudu' (ablution)?" Imam عليه السلام said: "As for camels and cows, there is no harm."
