Sayyiduna Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) at the place of "Ji‘irranah." I did not understand what I should ask you. I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! I fill my pond and then wait for my animal to come to that pond, but in the meantime, another animal comes and drinks from it. Will I get a reward for this? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "You will get a reward for giving water to every thirsty living being." Sufyan says: I had memorized these words of the narration from Zuhri, but some words from the beginning part got mixed up for me, so Wa’il bin Dawud narrated that part to me from Zuhri. Now I cannot clarify which words I had memorized from Zuhri and what Wa’il told me about. Sayyiduna Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while he was at the place of "Ji‘irranah." Whenever I passed by any group of the Ansar, they would hit me on the head and say: Go away. Go away. When I came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), I raised that letter. I submitted: It is me, O Messenger of Allah! The narrator says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had already granted me protection in a written document, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The best day is the one in which a promise is fulfilled and truth is spoken."
