أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْمَاءِ وَمَا يَنُوبُهُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ وَالسِّبَاعِ فَقَالَ " إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يَحْمِلِ الْخَبَثَ " .
Al-Husayn ibn Hurayth al-Marwazi informed us: Abu Usamah narrated to us, from al-Walid ibn Kathir, from Muhammad ibn Ja'far ibn al-Zubayr, from 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about water and the animals and beasts of prey that frequent it. He said: When water amounts to two qullahs, it does not carry impurity.
Translation notes
The Arabic says 'when the water is two qullahs'; the English witness says 'more than two Qullahs'. The unit is preserved without conversion.
قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْمَاءِ وَمَا يَنُوبُهُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ وَالسِّبَاعِ فَقَالَ " إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يَحْمِلِ الْخَبَثَ " .
The Arabic says idha kana al-ma'u qullatayn ('when the water is two qullahs'), without the comparative 'more than'.
Please confirm whether the English witness's 'more than' reflects an alternate reading or is an expansion.
