Virtue of giving water and food to respected animals
Hadith Number: 1448
1448 صحيح حديث ابي هريرة، قال: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: بينما كلب يطيف بركية كاد يقتله العطش، إذ راته بغي من بغايا بني إسرائيل، فنزعت موقها، فسقته، فغفر لها به
Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A dog was circling around a well, as if it was about to die from extreme thirst, when a woman from the Children of Israel, who was a prostitute, saw it. She took off her shoe and gave water to the dog to drink, and she was forgiven because of that (action).
