man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well,
he descended into it, drank his fill, and came up. Then he saw a dog with
its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The
man said, “This dog is feeling the same thirst that I felt.” So he
went down into the well again, filled his shoe with water, and gave the dog a
drink. So, God thanked him and forgave his sins.} The
Prophet
was asked, “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?”
He said: {There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or
human.}10 _____________________________ Footnotes: (1) Narrated in Saheeh Muslim, #2586, and Saheeh Al-Bukhari, #6011. (2) Narrated in Mosnad Ahmad, #7354, and Al-Tirmizi, #1162.
