حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ بَيْنَا رَجُلٌ بِطَرِيقٍ، اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَطَشُ فَوَجَدَ بِئْرًا فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَلْهَثُ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنَ الْعَطَشِ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَقَدْ بَلَغَ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي كَانَ بَلَغَ مِنِّي، فَنَزَلَ الْبِئْرَ، فَمَلأَ خُفَّهُ مَاءً، فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ، فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ، فَغَفَرَ لَهُ ‏"‏. قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّ لَنَا فِي الْبَهَائِمِ لأَجْرًا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man felt very thirsty while he was on the way, there he came across a well. He went down the well, quenched his thirst and came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. He said to himself, "This dog is suffering from thirst as I did." So, he went down the well again and filled his shoe with water and watered it. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him. The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?" He replied: "Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate (living being)." (See Hadith No)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, একদিন এক ব্যক্তি রাস্তায় চলার পথে অত্যন্ত তৃষ্ণার্ত হল। তারপর একটি কূয়া দেখতে পেয়ে তাতে সে নেমে পড়ল এবং পানি পান করল। উপরে উঠে এসে সে দেখতে পেল একটা কুকুর হাঁপাচ্ছে আর পিপাসার দরুন ভিজে মাটি চেটে খাচ্ছে। লোকটি (মনে মনে) বলল, এ কুকুরটির তেমনি পিপাসা পেয়েছে, যেমনি আমার পিপাসা পেয়েছিল। তারপর সে কূয়ার মধ্যে নামল এবং নিজের মোজা পানি ভর্তি করে এনে কুকুরটিকে পান করাল। আল্লাহ তার এ কাজ কবূল করেন এবং তাকে ক্ষমা করে দেন। সাহাবীগণ বলল, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! পশুদের ব্যাপারেও কি আমাদের জন্য পুণ্য রয়েছে? তিনি সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, প্রাণী মাত্রের সেবার মধ্যেই পুণ্য রয়েছে। (১৭৩) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২২৮৭, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
