[35] Allah Almighty’s Appreciation of His Servants’ Deeds, Forgiveness for Giving Water to the Thirsty and Removing Thorns from the Path:
That is, Allah’s dealing with His servants is not like that of a narrow-minded master with his servant, who constantly finds fault with his servant but does not value his services. Allah’s dealing with His servants is completely opposite to this. He forgives their minor mistakes and does not even call them to account for them, and for the good deeds a person performs, He grants a reward far greater than their worth. If He likes any act of His servant, He grants him a great reward. Thus, Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ؓ narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said: “A man saw a dog licking wet mud out of thirst. He took off his sock, filled it with water, and began to give the dog water until it was satisfied. Allah appreciated this act of his and granted him Paradise.” [بخاری۔ کتاب الوضوء۔ باب اذاشرب الکلب فی الاناء] Also, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah ؓ that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Once a man was walking somewhere and saw a thorny branch on the path, so he removed it from the way. Allah greatly liked this act of his and forgave him.” [بخاری۔ کتاب الاذان۔ باب فضل التھجیر الی الظھر]
