حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي وَهُوَ بِطَرِيقٍ إِذِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَطَشُ فَوَجَدَ بِئْرًا، فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَلْهَثُ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنَ الْعَطَشِ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ بَلَغَ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي بَلَغَنِي، فَنَزَلَ الْبِئْرَ فَمَلَأَ خُفَّهُ مَاءً ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَهُ بِفِيهِ حَتَّى رَقِيَ بِهِ، فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ، فَشَكَرَ اللهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَإِنَّ لَنَا فِي الْبَهَائِمِ لَأَجْرًا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ

✧ While a man was walking along a road, he became extremely thirsty. He found a well, went down into it, drank, and then came out. Suddenly he saw a dog panting and eating the moist earth from thirst. He said: This dog has reached the same level of thirst that I reached. So he went down into the well, filled his leather sock with water, then held it in his mouth until he climbed up, and gave the dog water. Allah appreciated that from him and forgave him. They said: O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for us in animals? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'In every living creature with a moist liver there is a reward.'
