3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following
“If the quantity of water is more than a Rawiyah, then it does not become unclean because of things falling in it, regardless of whether they have disintegrated or not, unless the smell of such things overwhelms the smell of water.”
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ
إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ رَاوِيَةٍ لَمْ يُنَجِّسْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ تَفَسَّخَ فِيهِ أَوْ لَمْ يَتَفَسَّخْ فِيهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَجِي‏ءَ لَهُ رِيحٌ يَغْلِبُ عَلَى رِيحِ الْمَاءِ.
