tabarani:17961a[Chain 1] Mūsá b. Hārūn > Muḥammad b. ʿAbbād al-Makkī And Yaḥyá b. Mūsá al-Lakhmī [Chain 2] Abū ʿUbaydah ʿAbd al-Wārith b. Ibrāhīm al-ʿAskarī > Yūnus b. Mūsá al-Sāmī > Muḥammad b. Sulaymān b. Masmūl al-Makhzūmī Bimakkah > al-Qāsim b. Mukhawwal al-Bahzī Thum al-Sulamī from my father

[Machine] I heard my father talking, and he witnessed both the pre-Islamic era and Islam. He said, "I set up traps for gazelles using ropes. One of them fell into a trap, and the rope turned over. We followed its tracks until we caught up with it. I found a man who had already taken it. We disputed the matter and went to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . We found him sitting under a tree, seeking shade with a piece of leather. He judged between us and divided it into two parts. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, these are my traps on his leg!' He said, 'This is it.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, when we are near water and thirsty camels approach us, can we give them water to drink and will we be rewarded for that?' He said, 'Yes, in every liver with moisture is a reward.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we encounter long-legged camels while we are hungry.' He said, 'Say, O owner of the camels, O owner of the camels, three times. If it comes to you, well and good. Otherwise, untie its teats, milk it, drink, and prepare its teats. Leave some milk for the calf.'"

ذِكْرُ مَا يُحْكَمُ لِمَنِ اصْطَادَ الصَّيْدَ فَانْفَلَتَ مِنْهُ بِشَبَكَتِهِ، فَظَفِرَ بِهِ آخَرُ غَيْرُهُ

[Machine] I heard my father, who had lived during the time of ignorance and embraced Islam, say, "I set traps with nets for hares, and one of them fell into my trap. It escaped, and I followed it until I found a man who had taken hold of it. We disputed over it until we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . We found him sitting among the nets, under a tree seeking shade, and we presented our case to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled between us and divided the hare into two parts. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we will encounter some camels with sore backs and they are in need.' He said, 'Call the owner of the camels three times; if he comes, give them to him, and if not, untie them and let them drink water, then tie them and leave the milk for their young.' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, should we expect a reward if we give them water?' He replied, 'Yes, in every living creature with a liver, there is a reward.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ started talking to us and said, 'A time will come upon people when the best wealth they will have is sheep grazing between the two mosques, eating from the trees and drinking from their containers. The shepherd will consume the milk and wear clothes made from their wool.' He may have said, 'from their hair.' And trials will arise, spreading like the traces of a camel's hoof amongst the Arabs, and by Allah.' I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, advise me.' He said, 'Perform the prayer, pay the Zakah, observe fasting during Ramadan, perform Hajj to the House, perform Umrah, be dutiful to your parents, maintain ties of kinship, receive guests, enjoin what is good, forbid what is evil, and follow the truth wherever it leads you.'"
