Bayhaqi 7809 — Reports on giving water to drink

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنِي كُدَيْرٌ الضَّبِّيُّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْرَابِيًّا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: أَخْبِرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنْ طَاعَتِهِ، وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنَ النَّارِ، قَالَ: " أَوَ هُمَا أَعْمَلَتَاكَ؟ ". قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " تَقُولُ الْعَدْلَ، وَتُعْطِي الْفَضْلَ "، قَالَ: وَاللهِ مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَقُولَ الْعَدْلَ كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ، وَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُعْطِيَ فَضْلَ مَالِي، قَالَ: " فَتُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ، وَتُفْشِي السَّلَامَ " قَالَ: هَذِهِ أَيْضًا شَدِيدَةٌ، قَالَ: " فَهَلْ لَكَ إِبِلٌ؟ ". قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " فَانْظُرْ بَعِيرًا مِنْ إِبِلِكَ وَسِقَاءٍ، ثُمَّ اعْمَدْ إِلَى أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ لَا يَشْرَبُونَ الْمَاءَ إِلَّا غِبًّا فَاسْقِهِمْ، فَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْ لَا يَهْلِكَ بَعِيرُكَ، وَلَا يَنْخَرِقَ سِقَاؤُكَ حَتَّى تَجِبَ لَكَ الْجَنَّةُ ". قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ يُكَبِّرُ، قَالَ: فَمَا انْخَرَقَ سِقَاؤُهُ، وَلَا هَلَكَ بَعِيرُهُ حَتَّى قُتِلَ شَهِيدًا ".
Kudayr al-Dabbi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a Bedouin came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Tell me of a deed that will bring me close to it (Paradise) and keep me far from the Fire." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Will you act upon them?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Speak justly and give away the surplus of your wealth." He said: "By Allah, I am not able to speak justly at every moment, nor am I able to give away the surplus of my wealth." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then feed people and spread the greeting of peace." He said: "This too is difficult." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have camels?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then pick one camel from your camels and a waterskin, then go to households who drink water only every other day, and give them water to drink. Perhaps your camel will not perish and your waterskin will not tear before Paradise becomes binding for you." He said: The Bedouin went off saying Allahu akbar. The narrator said: Neither did his waterskin tear nor did his camel perish, until he was killed as a martyr.
