Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2873

"بينما رجل يمشي بطريق اشتد عليه العطش ¤ فوجد بئرا فنزل فيها فشرب منها ثم خرج فإذا هو بكلب يلهث يأكل الثرى من العطش فقال: لقد بلغ هذا الكلب من العطش مثل الذي بلغ بي فنزل البئر فملأ خفه ماء ثم أمسك بفيه ثم رقي فسقى الكلب فشكر الله فغفر له في كل ذات كبد رطبة أجر"
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"A man was walking along a road when he became extremely thirsty. He found a well, so he went down into it, drank water and came out. Suddenly he saw a dog panting from the intensity of thirst and licking the moist earth. The man said to himself: This dog has been struck by the same intensity of thirst as I was. So he went down into the well again, filled his leather sock with water, then held it in his mouth, climbed up and gave the dog water to drink. Allah Almighty appreciated this deed of his and forgave him. (Remember!) There is reward in doing good to every creature with a moist liver (that is, every living being)."
