Arabic hadith text

وَعَن أبي سعيد الْخُدْرِيّ قَالَ: قيل يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ بِئْرٍ بُضَاعَةَ وَهِيَ بِئْرٌ يُلْقَى فِيهَا الْحِيَضُ وَلُحُومُ الْكِلَابِ وَالنَّتْنُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْمَاءَ طَهُورٌ لَا يُنَجِّسُهُ شَيْءٌ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ

Translation

Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī said that people asked: ‘Messenger of Allah, may we perform ablution with water from the well of Buḍāʿa? Menstrual cloths, dog flesh, and foul matter are thrown into it.’ The Messenger of Allah replied: ‘Water is purifying; nothing makes it impure.’ Aḥmad, al-Tirmidhī, Abū Dāwūd, and al-Nasāʾī transmitted it.
