[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The area around the well for the animals is forty cubits in all directions. It is designated for giving water to camels, sheep, and travelers. The first to drink from it is not prohibited, so that the excess water can be prevented from causing harm."  

أحمد:١٠٤١١حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَرِيمُ الْبِئْرِ أَرْبَعُونَ ذِرَاعًا مِنْ حَوَالَيْهَا كُلُّهَا لِأَعْطَانِ الْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَابْنُ السَّبِيلِ أَوَّلُ شَارِبٍ وَلَا يُمْنَعُ فَضْلُ مَاءٍ لِيُمْنَعَ بِهِ الْكَلَأُ
