أحمد:٢٢٥٢٨حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَتْنِي امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ

أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ كَانَ يُصْغِي الْإِنَاءَ لِلْهِرِّ فَيَشْرَبُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَدَّثَنَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ إِنَّهَا مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ وَالطَّوَّافَاتِ عَلَيْكُمْ
