Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:6598 حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي قَبَضَهُ اللهُ فِيهِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَمَا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرَنِيهِ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَذْكُرُ شَيْئًا اللَّيْلَةَ فِيمَا أَذْكُرُهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يُفْرِغُ فِي حَوْضَهِ فَتَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ الْهَمَلُ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَالضَّالَّةُ أَلَهُ أَجْرٌ فِي أَنْ يَسْقِيَهَا؟ فَقَالَ «لَكَ فِي كُلِّ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى أَجْرٌ»
English Translation
Suraqah ibn Malik said: "I entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) during his illness in which Allah took him. I asked him and he answered everything I asked about. One of the things I asked was: 'What do you think about a man who fills his watering trough and stray camels and lost animals come to drink from it — does he have a reward for giving them water?' He said: 'In every living being with a thirsty liver there is a reward for you.'"
