Chapter on Purifying Water From Impurities
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 11
وَرُوِيَ أَيْضًا عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي الْفَأْرَةِ وَالسِّنَّوْرِ وَالدَّجَاجَةِ وَالطَّيْرِ وَالْكَلْبِ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا لَمْ يَتَفَسَّخْ أَوْ لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُ الْمَاءِ فَيَكْفِيكَ خَمْسُ دِلَاءٍ، وَإِنْ تَغَيَّرَ الْمَاءُ فَخُذْ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ الرِّيحُ.
It is also narrated from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Jamil ibn Darraj, from Abu Usama:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said regarding a mouse, a cat, a chicken, a bird, or a dog: "If it does not decompose or change the taste of the water, then five buckets suffice. But if the water changes, draw from it until the odor dissipates."
