Nothing Makes Water Impure?
Kindly explain this narration:
Abu Dawood سنن ابوداؤد
Hadith # 67
Translation:Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri (RA) : I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah ﷺ : 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 ﷺ 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 Budah 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.This narration comes from many chains, and this has been classed authentic.

It was a running water well. For the ease of the people water is considered pure unless its color or smell is not changed due to impurities. The judgement of two people are mentioned here which are different to each other. In the time of the prophet it was definitely a well of pure water.

Irfan bhai! you are right but the words at the end say that ” color of water had changed”. Also what about these words: ” It is a well in which dead dogs, menstrual clothes and excrement of people are thrown”. Personally, I think that these words are against the fitrah. I would appreciate your opinion regarding this.
