وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمَسْمُولِيُّ، ثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُخَوَّلٍ الْبَهْزِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ:

قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، نَلْقَى الْإِبِلَ وَبِهَا لَبَنٌ وَهِيَ مُصَرَّاةٌ، وَنَحْنُ مُحْتَاجُونَ. قَالَ ﷺ: نَادِ يَا صَاحِبَ الْإِبِلِ ثَلَاثًا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ وَإِلَّا فَاحْلُلْ صِرَارَهَا ثُمَّ اشْرَبْ، ثُمَّ صُرَّ وَأَبْقِ لِلَّبَنٍ دَاعِيَةً ". قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَوْصِنِي. قَالَ ﷺ: " أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ، وَآتِ الزَّكَاةَ، وَصُمْ رَمَضَانَ، وَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ، وَاعْتَمِرْ، وَبِرَّ وَالِدَيْكَ، وَصِلْ رَحِمَكَ، وَاقْرِ الضَّيْفَ، وَأْمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، وَزُلْ مَعَ الْحَقِّ حَيْثُ زَالَ ". قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، الضَّوَالُّ تَرِدُ عَلَيْنَا هَلْ لَنَا أَجْرٌ أَنْ نَسْقِيَهَا ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: " نَعَمْ فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى أَجْرٌ

✧ I said: "O Messenger of Allah, we come across camels that have milk and are left unmilked, and we are in need." He ﷺ said: "Call out 'O owner of the camels' three times. If he comes, then (ask him); otherwise, untie their udder straps and drink, then tie them again and leave some milk for the next milking." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, advise me." He ﷺ said: "Establish prayer, give zakah, fast Ramadan, perform Hajj to the House, perform ʿUmrah, be dutiful to your parents, maintain ties of kinship, honor the guest, enjoin good, forbid evil, and move with the truth wherever it moves." He said: I then said: "O Messenger of Allah, lost animals come to us; is there any reward for us if we give them water?" He ﷺ said: "Yes, in every living being with a thirsty liver there is a reward."
