‘Abd Allaah bin Jafar said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ seated me behind him(on his ride) one day, and told me secretly a thing asking me not to tell it to anyone. The place for easing dearer to the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ was a mound or host of palm trees by which he could conceal himself. He entered the garden of a man from the Ansar(Helpers). All of a sudden when a Camel saw the Prophet ﷺ it wept tenderly producing yearning sound and it eyes flowed. The Prophet ﷺ came to it and wiped the temple of its head. So it kept silence. He then said “Who is the master of this Camel? Whose Camel is this? A young man from the Ansar came and said “This is mine, Apostle of Allaah ﷺ.” He said “Don’t you fear Allaah about this beast which Allaah has given in your possession. It has complained to me that you keep it hungry and load it heavily which fatigues it.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2549)   

أَرْدَفَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ خَلْفَهُ فَأَسَرَّ إِلِيَّ حَدِيثًا لَا أُحَدِّثُ بِهِ أَحَدًا مِنَ النَّاسِ وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ مَا اسْتَتَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِحَاجَتِهِ هَدَفٌ أَوْ حَائِشُ نَخْلٍ يَعْنِي حَائِطَ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ حَائِطًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَإِذَا فِيهِ جَمَلٌ فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَرَفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَمَسَحَ سَرَاتَهُ إِلَى سَنَامِهِ وَذِفْرَيْهِ فَسَكَنَ قَالَ مَنْ رَبُّ هَذَا الْجَمَلِ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْجَمَلُ قَالَ فَجَاءَ فَتًى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ هُوَ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَتَّقِي اللهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهِيمَةِ الَّتِي مَلَّكَكَ اللهُ إِيَّاهَا فَإِنَّهَا تَشْكُو إِلِيَّ أَنَّكَ تُجِيعُهَا وَتُدْئِبُهَا أَخْرَجَ مُسْلِمٌ أَوَّلَ الْحَدِيثِ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that a woman was punished for imprisoning a cat until it died of hunger. He entered the fire and said to her, "By Allah, I do not know whether you fed her or gave her water while you imprisoned her, or whether you let her eat from the earth's scraps until she died of hunger." And Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Abdan informed us that Ahmad ibn Ubaid Al-Saffar narrated from Ibn Al-Fadl who narrated from Ismail who narrated from Malik, and he mentioned it in his chain of narration in a similar manner except that he did not mention at the end "until she died of hunger."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ حَبَسَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ جُوعًا فَدَخَلْتُ فِيهَا النَّارَ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ لَا أَنْتِ أَطْعَمْتِيهَا وَسَقَيْتِيهَا حِينَ حَبَسْتِيهَا وَلَا أَنْتِ أَرْسَلْتِيهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ جُوعًا 15816 وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا ابْنُ الْفَضْلِ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي آخِرِهِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ جُوعًا  

[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A woman entered the Fire because of a cat that she had tied up and did not feed, nor did she let it eat from the vermin of the earth until it died."  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّارَ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ هِرَّةٍ لَهَا رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَا هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَلَا هِيَ أَرْسَلَتْهَا تُقَمِّمُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ هَزْلًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: While a man was on a journey, he became thirsty and came across a well. He went down into it, drank, and then came out. Suddenly, he saw a dog eating the dirt out of thirst. The man went back down into the well, filled his shoe with water, and held it in his mouth. He then gave the water to the dog. Allah thanked him for his action and forgave his sins. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, do we get reward for our kindness towards animals?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "In every living being, there is a reward for showing kindness."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ فِي طَرِيقٍ أَصَابَهُ عَطَشٌ فَجَاءَ بِئْرًا فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنَ الْعَطَشِ فَنَزَلَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى الْبِئْرِ فَمَلَأَ خُفَّهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَ الْخُفَّ بِفِيهِ فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ فَشَكَرَ اللهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَإِنَّ لَنَا فِي الْبَهَائِمِ لَأَجْرًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ  

There was a dog moving around a well whom thirst would have killed. Suddenly a prostitute from the prostitutes of Bani Isra'il happened to see it and she drew water in her shoe and made it drink, and she was pardoned because of this. (Using translation from Muslim 2245b)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَا كَلْبٌ يُطِيفُ بِرَكِيَّةٍ قَدْ كَادَ يَقْتُلُهُ الْعَطَشُ إِذْ رَأَتْهُ بَغِيٌّ مِنْ بَغَايَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَنَزَعَتْ مُوقَهَا فَاسْتَقَتْ لَهُ فَسَقَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ فَغُفِرَ لَهَا بِهِ
