Chapter on Water and Its Rules, and What is Permissible and Impermissible for Purification
وَ أَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« كُلَّمَا غَلَبَ اَلْمَاءُ عَلَى رِيحِ اَلْجِيفَةِ فَتَوَضَّأْ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ وَ اِشْرَبْ فَإِذَا تَغَيَّرَ اَلْمَاءُ أَوْ تَغَيَّرَ اَلطَّعْمُ فَلاَ تَوَضَّأْ مِنْهُ وَ لاَ تَشْرَبْ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me, saying: Abu al-Qasim Ja'far ibn Muhammad narrated to me from his father, from Sa'd ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id and Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Najran, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Hariz ibn Abdullah, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "Whenever the water dominates the smell of a carcass, you may perform Wudu' (ablution) with the water and drink from it. However, if the water's color or taste changes, then do not perform Wudu' with it and do not drink from it."
