Abu
Obeida reported from Jabir that Abu Hurayra narrated that
the the Prophet (PBUH) said, "While a man was walking on the way he became
extremely thirsty. The he found a well. He went down into it, drank (of its
water) and came out. Upon leaving it, he saw a dog panting and eating moist
earth out of thirst. Then the man said, "This dog is suffering from the same state of thirst
as I did." So he descended into the well, filled up his slipper with
water, and holding it with his mouth, climbed up and watered the dog. So Allah thanked him for that and forgave
him." Then the people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is there a reward for
us in serving the animals?" He said, "There is a reward for serving
any animate (living being)."
