abudawud:67Aḥmad b. Abū Shuʿayb And ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Yaḥyá al-Ḥarrāniyyān > Muḥammad b. Salamah > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > Salīṭ b. Ayyūb > ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Rāfiʿ al-Anṣārī Thum al-ʿAdawī > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī

I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah ﷺ: Water is brought for you from the well of Buda'ah. 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 b. Sa'id 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 Buda'ah 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.
