قال الشيخ السعيد الفقيه أبو جعفر محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن موسى بن بابويه القمي مصنف هذا الكتاب رحمة الله عليه: إن الله تبارك وتعالى يقول: "۝ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ طَهُورًۭا ۝. ويقول عز وجل: "۝ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍۢ فَأَسْكَنَّـٰهُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍۭ بِهِۦ لَقَـٰدِرُونَ ۝. ويقول عز وجل: "۝ وَيُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۭ لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم بِهِ ۝. فأصل الماء كله من السماء وهو طهور كله، وماء البحر طهور، وماء البئر طهور.

The virtuous scholar, jurist Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Hussain ibn Musa ibn Babawayh al-Qummi, the author of this book, may God have mercy on him, said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, says: 'And We sent down from the sky pure water' (Surah Al Furqan 25:48). And He, Mighty and Majestic, says: 'And We sent down from the sky water in due measure, and We settled it in the earth, and indeed We are able to take it away' (Surah Al Mu'minun 23:18). And He, Mighty and Majestic, says: 'And He sent down upon you water from the sky to purify you with it' (Surah Al-Anfal 8:11). Therefore, all water originates from the sky, and all of it is purifying. Sea water is pure, and well water is pure."

8 - وَ سَأَلَ عَمَّارٌ اَلسَّابَاطِيُّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْقَيْءِ يُصِيبُ اَلثَّوْبَ فَلاَ يُغْسَلُ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ.

Hadith.10 - The people of the desert came to the Messenger of Allah (sw) and said: "O’ Messenger of Allah (sw), our water reservoirs are frequented by wild animals, dogs, and livestock." He (sw) said to them: "What they take with their mouths is for them, and the rest is for you”. [AL SADUQ] If a beast, donkey, mule, sheep, cow, or camel drinks from water, there is no harm in using it and performing ablution with it. However, if a lizard falls into a vessel of water, the water should be poured out. If a dog licks the vessel or drinks from it, the water should be poured out, and the vessel washed three times: once with earth and twice with water, then dried. As for stagnant water with an unpleasant odor, it is best to avoid it, unless no other water is available. There is no harm in performing ablution with water from which a cat has drunk, and there is no harm in drinking it.

11 - وقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِنِّي لاَ أَمْتَنِعُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ طَعِمَ مِنْهُ اَلسِّنَّوْرُ وَ لاَ مِنْ شَرَابٍ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ.

Hadith.12 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Regarding water into which animals urinate, dogs drink, or someone performs ghusl (ritual washing after major impurity): "If it reaches the amount of a kurr (a specific measure), then nothing can make it impure”.

13 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَهُمْ قَطْرَةُ بَوْلٍ قَرَضُوا لُحُومَهُمْ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ وَ قَدْ وَسَّعَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَوْسَعِ مَا بَيْنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ اَلْأَرْضِ وَ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اَلْمَاءَ طَهُوراً فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَكُونُونَ.

Hadith.13 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The Children of Israel, if a drop of urine touched them, they would cut away the affected flesh with scissors.

So, consider how you conduct yourselves (at removing impurities)”.

Hadith.16 - Ameerul Momineen Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) was asked: "Is it better to perform ablution from the leftover water of a group of Muslims, or from a covered white jug?"

However, if he only noticed the mouse after he had finished, then he should avoid using the water, but he is not required to repeat anything, as he does not know when it fell into the container." Imam (as) said: "It is possible that it only fell into the container at the moment he saw it."
