7. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan from ibn Muskan from al-Halabiy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If something small falls in a well and dies, then take a few buckets of water out. If a person involved in sexual activities (because of which Ghusl (bath) is obligatory) falls in it, you must draw seven buckets of water out thereof. If a camel dies in it or wine is poured in it then you must draw out all of the water.”’
7ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
إِذَا سَقَطَ فِي الْبِئْرِ شَيْ‏ءٌ صَغِيرٌ فَمَاتَ فِيهَا فَانْزَحْ مِنْهَا دِلاَءً وَإِنْ وَقَعَ فِيهَا جُنُبٌ فَانْزَحْ مِنْهَا سَبْعَ دِلاَءٍ فَإِنْ مَاتَ فِيهَا بَعِيرٌ أَوْ صُبَّ فِيهَا خَمْرٌ فَلْيُنْزَحْ.
