حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ مِنْ آلِ بَنِي الأَزْرَقِ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ

يَقُولُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَرْكَبُ الْبَحْرَ وَنَحْمِلُ مَعَنَا الْقَلِيلَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأْنَا بِهِ عَطِشْنَا أَفَنَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هُوَ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ

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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ replied, "lts water is pure, and its dead creatures are halal."

    سأل أبو عيسى الترمذي محمد بن إسماعيل البخاري عن حديث مالك هذا عن صفوان بن سليم فقال هو عندي حديث صحيح قال الترمذي فقلت للبخاري هشيم يقول فيه المغيرة بن أبي برزة فقال وهم فيه إنما هو المغيرة بن أبي بردة قال وهشيم ربما وهم في الإسناد وهو في المقطعات أحفظ

Al-Tirmidhī said: I said to al-Bukhārī: "Hushaym says in it: al-Mughīrah b. Abī Burzah." He said: "He erred in it; it is only al-Mughīrah b. Abī Burdah."

    machine translationThe people of hadith would not use a chain like this one as evidence, but in my view it is sound (ṣaḥīḥ), because the scholars received it with acceptance and acted upon it, and none of the jurists disagrees with it in its general sense; the disagreement is only over some of its meanings.
