Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 11
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ وَأَبِي يُوسُفَ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عُثَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا وَقَعَ فِي اَلْبِئْرِ اَلطَّيْرُ وَ اَلدَّجَاجَةُ وَ اَلْفَأْرَةُ فَانْزَحْ مِنْهَا سَبْعَ دِلاَءٍ» قُلْنَا فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي صَلاَتِنَا وَ وُضُوئِنَا وَ مَا أَصَابَ ثِيَابَنَا فَقَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam, from Aban, from Abu Usamah and Abu Yusuf Ya'qub ibn Uthaym, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said:
Imam عليه السلام said: "If a bird, chicken, or mouse falls into a well, draw seven buckets of water from it." We asked: "What about our prayer, Wudu' (ablution), and what has come into contact with our clothes?" Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm."
