بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي فَضْلٍ سَفْيِ الْمَاءِ وَالنَّهْي عَنْ مَنْعِ ما فَضَلَ مِنْهُ وَالتَّشْدِيدِ فِي ذَلِكَ
Chapter on the Virtue of Leftover Water, the Prohibition of Preventing Its Excess, and the Severity of That
Hadith 7434
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّهُ مَاتَتْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ فَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ سَقْيُ الْمَاءِ قَالَ فَتِلْكَ سِقَايَةُ آلِ سَعْدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: My mother passed away and I said: O Messenger of Allah! My mother has passed away, can I give charity on her behalf? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, absolutely. I said: Which charity is the best? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Providing water is the best charity. So he had a well dug, which became famous in Madinah by the name of the family of Sa’d.
Hadith 7435
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَنْزِعُ فِي حَوْضِي حَتَّى إِذَا مَلَأْتُهُ لِأَهْلِي وَرَدَ عَلَيَّ الْبَعِيرُ لِغَيْرِي فَسَقَيْتُهُ فَهَلْ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى أَجْرٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I draw water and pour it into my pond, and I fill it for my family, but other people's camels come and I give them water to drink. Will I get a reward for this? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is a reward for giving water to every creature with a liver, that is, every living being.
Hadith 7436
أَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ جُعْشُمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَطَفِقْتُ أَسْأَلُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى مَا أَذْكُرُ مَا أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ اذْكُرْهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الضَّالَّةُ تَغْشَى حِيَاضِي وَقَدْ مَلَأْتُهَا مَاءً لِإِبِلِي هَلْ لِي مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَنْ أَسْقِيَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَمْ فِي سَقْيِ كُلِّ كَبِدٍ (وَفِي لَفْظٍ فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ) حَرَّاءَ أَجْرٌ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Malik bin Ju'sham (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the illness in which he passed away. I began asking him questions, to the extent that I no longer remember what all I kept asking him. Someone said: Recall any question and tell us. He said: I had asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! A lost animal comes to my pond, which I have filled for my camels. If I give it water to drink, will I get a reward for it?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! There is a reward for quenching the thirst of every living being with a burning thirst.
Hadith 7437
عَنْ بُهَيْسَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ اسْتَأْذَنَ أَبِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَعَلَ يَدْنُو مِنْهُ وَيَلْتَزِمُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ قَالَ الْمَاءُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ قَالَ الْمِلْحُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي لَا يَحِلُّ مَنْعُهُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ تَفْعَلِ الْخَيْرَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ قَالَ فَانْتَهَى قَوْلُهُ إِلَى الْمَاءِ وَالْمِلْحِ قَالَ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ لَا يَمْنَعُ شَيْئًا وَإِنْ قَلَّ
It is narrated from Bahisa, she says: My father sought permission from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to come to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted permission. He came close to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and clung to him. Then he said: O Messenger of Allah! What is that thing which it is not permissible to withhold? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Water. Then he said: O Messenger of Allah! What is that thing which it is not lawful to withhold? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Salt. Then he said: O Messenger of Allah! What is that thing which it is not lawful to withhold? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is better for you that you do a good deed. Thus, the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained limited to water and salt, but after that, that man never refused to give anything, even if it was something very small.
Hadith 7438
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ مَنَعَ فَضْلَ مَاءِهِ أَوْ فَضْلَ كَلَئِهِ مَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ فَضْلَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever withholds surplus water and surplus grass, Allah Almighty will withhold His grace from him on the Day of Resurrection.
