Sayyiduna Rashid bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Nothing makes water impure, except that which changes its taste or smell.”This narration is transmitted up to Rashid bin Sa’d, however, ‘Udhayzi has narrated this hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Nothing makes water impure except that which changes its smell and taste." This narration has been transmitted as "marfu‘" only from Rushdin bin Sa‘d, and this narrator is not reliable; the correct view is that it is transmitted as the statement of Rashid bin Sa‘d.

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):“Nothing makes water impure.”

Rashid bin Sa’d reports: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:“Nothing makes water impure except something that overcomes its smell or taste.”This narration is“mursal,”and the narrator named Abu Usamah has transmitted it from Rashid bin Sa’d as a“mawquf”narration.

Dawud bin Abu Hind narrates: We asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib about a well and such a pond from which dogs also drink, so he said: Water was sent down as a pure thing; nothing makes it impure.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah! We perform ablution with water from the 'Buda'ah' well, even though cloths of menstruating women and other impure things are thrown into it." In another narration, these words are mentioned: "Carrion is thrown into it." Some narrators have reported these words: "The flesh of dogs is thrown into it." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Water is pure; nothing makes it impure." These words of the hadith are according to the narration of the narrator named Ibn Abu 'Awn.
