The Shaykh : Well, yes, he (may Allah have mercy on him) said, in what he quoted from the hadiths he cited in the chapter on vessels: "And from 'Imran ibn Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him): Bulugh al-Maram 22 Agreed upon in a long hadith".
This hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) in his Sahih in its full length. It states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was with his companions and that they were struck by thirst. He sent two men to fetch water, and they found a woman on her camel between two water skins. A water skin is two skins sewn together with a plate placed between them to hold more water. They asked her about water, and she said, "My last experience with water was yesterday at this time," meaning there was a day and a night between them and water. They invited her to come to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Come with us to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." She asked, "Who is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is he the one who has abandoned his religion?" Because the polytheists called him the one who abandoned his religion, and the one who abandons his religion is the one who has left the religion of his people. They said, "He is the one you mean," and they did not say, "He is the one who abandoned his religion." "He is the one you mean" means "he is the one you are looking for." They brought her to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and dismounted the woman. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) opened the mouths of the two water skins and blew into them. Then he ordered the people to draw water, and the camels drank. They were about eighty men or more. Then he ordered food to be brought for her, and dates, grain, and flour were brought. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted her to return to her people, and her water skins had not decreased in any way; they were as they had been yesterday. Then she went to her people, and they asked her why she was delayed. She said, "I encountered such and such, and I came to you from the most truthful of people, or from one who is truthful that he is a Prophet." This is the hadith, and it is longer than what I mentioned, but this is its summary. So the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would campaign around her area but not attack her people. In the end, they embraced Islam by the blessing of the water that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions drew from it.
He says: "They performed ablution from the water skin of a polytheistic woman." So we have learned that a water skin is two skins with a plate between them. It is known that the skins are taken from the slaughtered animals of the polytheists, and the slaughtered animals of the polytheists are carrion, because what is lawful from the slaughter of non-Muslims is only the slaughter of whom?

The Shaykh : The People of the Book. And if it is carrion, it is ritually impure. And if the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions performed ablution from these two water skins, which are the skins of carrion, because those who slaughtered them were disbelievers, that indicates that the skin, I mean the skin of carrion, becomes purified by tanning. And if that were not the case, the water would have been ritually impure, and it would not have been permissible to perform ablution with it. For that reason, the author cited this hadith in the chapter on what? In the chapter on vessels.
The Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions performed Wudu (ablution) from a skin water container belonging to a polytheist woman
