وَأَخْبَرَنِي اَلشَّيْخُ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْكُرِّ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ كَمْ يَكُونُ قَدْرُهُ قَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ اَلْمَاءُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَشْبَارٍ وَ نِصْفاً فِي مِثْلِهِ ثَلاَثَةِ أَشْبَارٍ وَ نِصْفٍ فِي عُمْقِهِ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ فَذَلِكَ اَلْكُرُّ مِنَ اَلْمَاءِ».

Translation

And what was narrated to me by the Shaykh, from Abu Al-Qasim Ja'far bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Ya'qub, from Muhammad bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Yahya, from Uthman bin Isa, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about the measurement of a kurr of water. Imam (a.s) said: 'If the water measures three and a half handspans by three and a half handspans in width and depth into the ground, that is a kurr of water.'
