Chapter on Purifying Water From Impurities

فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ فَصِرْنَا إِلَى بِئْرٍ فَاسْتَقَى غُلاَمُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ دَلْواً فَخَرَجَ فِيهِ فَأْرَتَانِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« أَرِقْهُ» قَالَ فَاسْتَقَى آخَرَ فَخَرَجَتْ فِيهِ فَأْرَةٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« أَرِقْهُ» قَالَ فَاسْتَقَى اَلثَّالِثَ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ« صُبَّهُ فِي اَلْإِنَاءِ» فَصَبَّهُ فِي اَلْإِنَاءِ.
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa narrated from Ali ibn Hadid, from one of our companions, who said: I was with Abu Abdullah عليه السلام on the road to Mecca, and we came to a well. The servant of Abu Abdullah عليه السلام drew a bucket, and two mice came out in it. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "Pour it out." Then he (the servant) drew another bucket, and a mouse came out in it. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "Pour it out." Then he (the servant) drew a third bucket, and nothing came out in it. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "Pour it into the container." So he (the servant) poured it into the container.
