SECTION 3: What is Pure for Wudu

Book 2, Number 2.3.12: Yahya related to me from Malik from Safwan ibn Sulaym from Said ibn Salama of the Bani Azraq from al−Mughira ibn Abi Burda of the tribe of Bani Abd ad−Dar that he had heard Abu Hurayra speak about a man who came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "Messenger of Allah! We travel by sea and we do not carry much fresh water with us so if we do wudu with it we go thirsty. Can we do wudu with seawater?" The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, replied, "lts water is pure, and its dead creatures are halal."

Book 2, Number 2.3.13: Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha from Humayda bint Abi Ubayda ibn Farwa that her maternal aunt Kabsha bint Kab ibn Malik, who was the wife of the son of Abu Qatada al−Ansari, told her that once Abu Qatada was visiting her and she poured out some water for him to do wudu with. Just then a cat came to drink from it, so he tilted the vessel towards it to let it drink. Kabsha continued, "He saw me looking at him and said, 'Are you surprised, daughter of my brother?' I said, 'Yes.' He replied that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, cats are not impure. They intermingle with you.' " Yahya said that Malik said, "There is no harm in that unless one sees impurities on the cat's mouth."

Book 2, Number 2.3.14: Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn alHarith at−Taymi from Yahya ibn Abd ar−Rahman ibn Hatib that Umar ibn al−Khattab set out on one occasion with a party of riders, one of whom was Amr ibn al−As. They came to a watering place and Amr ibn al−As asked the man who owned it whether wild beasts
drank from it. Umar ibn al−Khattab told the owner of the watering place not to answer, since the people drank after the wild beasts and the wild beasts drank after them.

Book 2, Number 2.3.15: Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say that men and their wives used to do wudu together in the time of the Messenger of Allah.
