ذِكْرُ إِعْطَاءِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْأَجْرَ لِمَنْ سَقَى كُلَّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى

ibnhibban:542Ibn Qutaybah > Ḥarmalah > Ibn Wahb > Yūnus > Ibn Shihāb > Maḥmūd b. al-Rabīʿ > Surāqah b. Juʿshum

[AI] "O Messenger of Allah, does the lost animal come to my reservoir, will there be a reward in it if I give it water?" He said, "Give it water, for verily, in every living being with a liver, there is a reward."

ابن حبّان:٥٤٢أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ أَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ جُعْشُمٍ قَالَ

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الضَّالَّةُ تَرِدُ عَلَى حَوْضِي فَهَلْ فِيهَا أَجْرٌ إِنْ سَقَيْتُهَا؟ قَالَ «اسْقِهَا فَإِنَّ فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى أَجْرًا»
