| Kitab al Athar - Chapter on What Water Left By Horses.....
6. Imam Muhammad ibn al-Hasan (ra) said, 'Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) informed us from Hammad (ra) that Ibrahim (ra) said concerning a cat which drinks from a vessel, 'It is a member of the household and there is no harm in drinking what it leaves,' and so I (Hammad) asked him, 'Does one use what it leaves over in purification for the prayer?' He said, 'Allah has made water ilicit, but He has not commanded nor forbidden [the use of water left over by a cat].'
Imam Muhammad (ra) said, 'Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) said, 'Something other than it would be preferable to me, but if one does perform wudu with it, that is valid, and if one drinks of it, there is no harm.'' Muhammad (ra) said, 'We adhere to the verdict of Imam Abu Hanifa (ra).'
7. Imam Muhammad (ra) said, 'Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) informed us from Hammad (ra) that Ibrahim (ra) said, 'There is no good in water left over by mules and donkeys, and no one ought to do wudu with water left over by mules and donkeys, but one can do wudu with water left over by horses and non-Arabian horses, sheep and camels.''
Imam Muhammad (ra) said, 'That is the verdict of Imam Abu Hanifa (ra) and we adhere to it.'
