حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي 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 بِي، فَنَزَلَ الْبِئْرَ فَمَلأَ خُفَّهُ، ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَهُ بِفِيهِ، فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ، فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ ‏"‏. قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّ لَنَا فِي الْبَهَائِمِ أَجْرًا. فَقَالَ ‏"‏ فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While a man was walking on a road. he became very thirsty. Then he came across a well, got down into it, drank (of its water) and then came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. The man said to himself "This dog is suffering from the same state of thirst as I did." So he went down the well (again) and filled his shoe (with water) and held it in his mouth and watered the dog. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him." The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?" He said, "(Yes) There is a reward for serving any animate (living being)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ একবার এক লোক পথে হেঁটে যাচ্ছিল। তার ভীষণ পিপাসা লাগে। সে একটি কূপ পেল। সে তাতে নামল এবং পানি পান করলো, তারপরে উঠে এলো। হঠাৎ দেখলো, একটি কুকুর হাঁপাচ্ছে। পিপাসার্ত হয়ে কাদা চাটছে। লোকটি ভাবলো, এ কুকুরটি পিপাসায় সেরূপ কষ্ট পাচ্ছে, যেরূপ কষ্ট আমার হয়েছিল। তখন সে কূপে নামল এবং তার মোজার মধ্যে পানি ভরলো, তারপর মুখ দিয়ে তা (কামড়ে) ধরে উপরে উঠে এলো। তারপর সে কুকুরটিকে পানি পান করালো। আল্লাহ তাকে এর প্রতিদান দিলেন এবং তাকে মাফ করে দিলেন। সাহাবীগণ জিজ্ঞেস করলেনঃ হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! জীব-জন্তুর (প্রতি দয়া প্রদর্শনের) জন্যও কি আমাদের পুরস্কার আছে? তিনি বললেনঃ হাঁ, প্রত্যেক দয়ালু অন্তরের অধিকারীদের জন্যে প্রতিদান আছে। [১৭৩] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৫৫৭৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
