Chapter on Etiquettes of Causes Requiring Purification

وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ اَلْيَمَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ اَلْقَمَّاطِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: فِي اَلْمَاءِ يَمُرُّ بِهِ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ نَقِيعٌ فِيهِ اَلْمَيْتَةُ اَلْجِيفَةُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ« إِنْ كَانَ اَلْمَاءُ قَدْ تَغَيَّرَ رِيحُهُ أَوْ طَعْمُهُ فَلاَ تَشْرَبْ وَ لاَ تَتَوَضَّأْ مِنْهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ رِيحُهُ وَ طَعْمُهُ فَاشْرَبْ وَ تَوَضَّأْ».
And through this chain of narration, from Sa'd bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Isa, from Al-Abbas bin Ma'ruf, from Hammad bin Isa, from Ibrahim bin Umar Al-Yamani, from Abu Khalid Al-Qammat, who heard Abu Abdullah عليه السلام say: Imam عليه السلام said: regarding water that a man passes by, which is stagnant and contains a carcass. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: 'If the water's smell or taste has changed, do not drink from it or perform ablution with it. But if its smell and taste have not changed, then drink from it and perform ablution with it.'
