نَزَلْنَا فِي مَكَانٍ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ زُقَاقٌ قَذَرٌ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ أَيْنَ نَزَلْتُمْ فَقُلْتُ نَزَلْنَا فِي دَارِ فُلَانٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ زُقَاقاً قَذَراً أَوْ قُلْنَا لَهُ إِنَّ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ زُقَاقاً قَذَراً فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ الْأَرْضُ تُطَهِّرُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً قُلْتُ وَ السِّرْقِينُ الرَّطْبُ أَطَأُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ مِثْلُهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, from Muhammad Al Halby who said, ‘We lodged in a place and between us and the Masjid was a dirty alleyway. So I went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Where are you encamped?’ So I said, ‘We are lodged in the house of so and so’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Between you and the Masjid there is a dirty alleyway’, or we said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Between us and the Masjid is a dirty alleyway’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem. The earth (soil), parts of it purify the (other) parts’. I said, ‘And (what about) the wet manure I tread upon?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The likes of that does not harm you’.
