0:05
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,
0:09
that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:13
"A man was walking along
0:16
when he became intensely thirsty.
0:18
He descended into a well
0:20
and drank from it.
0:22
Then he emerged,
0:23
and there he saw a dog panting,
0:26
eating the moist earth out of thirst.
0:29
He said to himself,
0:30
'This creature has reached the same state of thirst that I reached.'
0:34
So he filled his leather sock [with water],
0:36
held it in his mouth,
0:38
climbed back up,
0:39
and gave the dog a drink.
0:41
Allah appreciated his deed and forgave him."
0:45
They asked,
0:46
"O Messenger of Allah,
0:48
is there a reward for us in [caring for] animals?"
0:51
He replied,
0:52
"In every living being with a moist liver, there is a reward."
