English translation

[5859] 153 - (2244) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "While a man was walking on the road, he became very thirsty. He found a well so he went down into it and drank, then he came out. There he saw a dog that was panting and biting the ground out of thirst. The man said: 'This dog is feeling the same thirst that I felt.' So he went back down into the well and filled his shoe with water, then he held it in his mouth until he climbed back up, and he gave the water to the dog. Allâh appreciated (his action) and forgave him.” They said: “O Messenger of Allâh, will we have reward with regard to these animals? He said: ‘In every living thing there is reward.’”

١٥٣ - (٢٢٤٤) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صالح السمان، إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: "بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ، اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَطَشُ. فَوَجَدَ بِئْرًا فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ. ثُمَّ خَرَجَ. فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَلْهَثُ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنَ الْعَطَشِ. فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: لَقَدْ بَلَغَ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي كَانَ بَلَغَ مِنِّي. فَنَزَلَ الْبِئْرَ فَمَلَأَ خُفَّهُ مَاءً ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَهُ بِفِيهِ حَتَّى رَقِيَ. فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ. فَغَفَرَ لَهُ " قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! وَإِنَّ لَنَا فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ لَأَجْرًا؟ فَقَالَ" في كل كبد رطبة أجر".
