Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 11
وَأَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْفَأْرَةِ وَ اَلسِّنَّوْرِ وَ اَلدَّجَاجَةِ وَ اَلطَّيْرِ وَ اَلْكَلْبِ قَالَ« مَا لَمْ يَتَفَسَّخْ أَوْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُ اَلْمَاءِ فَيَكْفِيكَ خَمْسُ دِلاَءٍ فَإِنْ تَغَيَّرَ اَلْمَاءُ فَحَدُّهُ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ اَلرِّيحُ».
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, narrated to me from Abu al-Qasim, from Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Jamil ibn Darraj, from Abu Usamah:
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said regarding a mouse, a cat, a chicken, a bird, or a dog that falls into water. Imam عليه السلام said:"As long as it has not decayed or the taste of the water has not changed, five buckets are sufficient. But if the water's taste changes, then its limit is until the smell is gone."
