أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ اَلْجَمَّالِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْحِيَاضِ اَلَّتِي مَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ إِلَى اَلْمَدِينَةِ تَرِدُهَا اَلسِّبَاعُ وَ تَلَغُ فِيهَا اَلْكِلاَبُ وَ تَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا اَلْحَمِيرُ وَ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهَا اَلْجُنُبُ وَ يَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ« وَكَمْ قَدْرُ اَلْمَاءِ» قُلْتُ إِلَى نِصْفِ اَلسَّاقِ وَإِلَى اَلرُّكْبَةِ فَقَالَ« تَوَضَّأْ مِنْهُ».
Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from Safwan ibn Mihran Al-Jammal, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about the ponds between Mecca and Medina, which are frequented by wild animals, dogs that drink from them, donkeys that drink from them, and where those in a state of janabah (major impurity) bathe and others perform wudu (ablution). Imam عليه السلام said: "What is the amount of water?" I said: "It reaches up to the middle of the shin or the knee." Imam عليه السلام said: "Perform wudu from it."
