حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ، وَعَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَرَّانِيَّانِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَلِيطِ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ثُمَّ الْعَدَوِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: إِنَّهُ يُسْتَقَى لَكَ مِنْ بِئْرِ بُضَاعَةَ، وَهِيَ بِئْرٌ يُلْقَى فِيهَا لُحُومُ الْكِلَابِ وَالْمَحَايِضُ وَعَذِرُ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ الْمَاءَ طَهُورٌ لَا يُنَجِّسُهُ شَيْءٌ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وسَمِعْت قُتَيْبَةَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ قَيِّمَ بِئْرِ بُضَاعَةَ عَنْ عُمْقِهَا. قَالَ: أَكْثَرُ مَا يَكُونُ فِيهَا الْمَاءُ إِلَى الْعَانَةِ، قُلْتُ: فَإِذَا نَقَصَ ؟ قَالَ: دُونَ الْعَوْرَةِ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وَقَدَّرْتُ أَنَا بِئْرَ بُضَاعَةَ بِرِدَائِي مَدَدْتُهُ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ ذَرَعْتُهُ فَإِذَا عَرْضُهَا سِتَّةُ أَذْرُعٍ، وَسَأَلْتُ الَّذِي فَتَحَ لِي بَابَ الْبُسْتَانِ، فَأَدْخَلَنِي إِلَيْهِ، هَلْ غُيِّرَ بِنَاؤُهَا عَمَّا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ ؟ قَالَ: لَا. وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا مَاءً مُتَغَيِّرَ اللَّوْنِ.
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم: Water is brought for you from the well of Budaah. It is a well in which dead dogs, menstrual clothes and excrement of people are thrown. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم replied: Verily water is pure and is not defiled by anything. Abu Dawud said I heard Qutaibah bin Saeed say: I asked the person in charge of the well of Bud'ah about the depth of the well. He replied: At most the water reaches pubes. Then I asked: Where does it reach when its level goes down ? He replied: Below the private part of the body. Abu Dawud said: I measured the breadth of the well of Budaah with my sheet which I stretched over it. I them measured it with the hand. It measured six cubits in breadth. I then asked the man who opened the door of garden for me and admitted me to it: Has the condition of this well changed from what it had originally been in the past ? He replied: No. I saw the color of water in this well had changed.
