3686. It was narrated that Surâqah bin Ju'shum said: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about a lost camel that comes to my cisterns that I have prepared for my own camels – will I be rewarded if I give it some water to drink? He said: 'Yes, in every living being there is reward.'" (Sahih)
3686 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ضَالَّةِ الْإِبِلِ تَغْشَى حِيَاضِي، قَدْ لُطْتُهَا لِإِبِلِي، فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ سَقَيْتُهَا؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى أَجْرٌ»

a. Giving water to a thirsty animal or feeding a hungry animal that belongs to others is also a good deed. b. Giving water to an animal that does not belong to anyone is also a good deed. As a prostitute was forgiven due to providing water to a thirsty dog. (Sahih Muslim: 2244)
