Sahih Bukhari

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "While a man was walking he felt thirsty and went down a well and drank water from it. On coming out of it, he saw a dog panting and eating mud because of excessive thirst. The man said, 'This (dog) is suffering from the same problem as that of mine. So he (went down the well), filled his shoe with water, caught hold of it with his teeth and climbed up and watered the dog. Allah thanked him for his (good) deed and forgave him." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! Is there a reward for us in serving (the) animals?" He replied, "Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate (living being)."

The Prophet (SAW) prayed the eclipse Salah (prayer), and then said, "Hell was displayed so close that I said, 'O my Lord! Am I going to be one of its inhabitants?' " Suddenly he saw a woman. I think he said, "...who was being scratched by a cat." He said, "What is wrong with her?" He was told, "She had imprisoned it (i.e. the cat) till it died of hunger."

Once a tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to Allah's Apostle (SAW) who drank from it, while on his right side there was sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present, and on his left side there were old men. The Prophet (SAW) asked, "O boy ! Do you allow me to give (the drink) to the elder people (first)?" The boy said, "I will not prefer anybody to have my share from you, O Allah's Apostle (SAW)!" So, he gave it to the boy.

The Prophet (SAW) said, "May Allah be merciful to the mother of Ismail (Ishmael)! If she had left the water of Zamzam (fountain) as it was, (without constructing a basin for keeping the water), (or said, "If she had not taken handfuls of its water"), it would have been a flowing stream. Jurhum (an Arab tribe) came and asked her, 'May we settle at your dwelling?' She said, 'Yes, but you have no right to possess the water.' They agreed."

The Prophet (SAW) said, "There are three types of people whom Allah will neither talk to, nor look at, on the Day of Resurrection. (They are): 1. A man who takes an oath falsely that he has been offered for his goods so much more than what he is given, 2. a man who takes a false oath after the Asr prayer in order to grab a Muslim's property, and 3. a man who with-holds his superfluous water. Allah will say to him, 'Today I will with-hold My Grace from you as you with-held the superfluity of what you had not created.' "

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, No Hima except for Allah and His Apostle (SAW). We have been told that Allah's Apostle (SAW) made a place called An-Naqi as Hima, and Umar made Ash-Sharaf and Ar-Rabadha as Hima (for grazing the animals of Zakat).

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "Keeping horses may be a source of reward to some (men), a shelter to another (i.e., means of earning one's living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse will be a source of reward is the one who keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare it for holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a garden). He will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it to eat in the pasture or the garden, and if that horse breaks its rope and crosses one or two hills, then all its foot-steps and its dung will be counted as good deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a river and drinks from it, then that will also be regarded as a good deed for its owner even if he has had no intention of watering it then. Horses are a shelter from poverty to the second person who keeps horses for earning his living so as not to ask others, and at the same time he gives Allah's right (i.e. Rakat) (from the wealth he earns through using them in trading etc.), and does not overburden them. He who keeps horses just out of pride and for showing off and as a means of harming the Muslims, his horses will be a source of sins to him." When Allah's Apostle (SAW) was asked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding them except this general unique Verse 'So whosoever does a good equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), shall see it. And whosoever does evil equal to the weight if an atom (or a small ant), shall see it'."

A man came to Allah's Apostle (SAW) and asked about Al-Luqata (a fallen thing). The Prophet (SAW) said, "Recognize its container and its tying material and then make a public announcement about it for one year and if its owner shows up, give it to him; otherwise use it as you like." The man said, "What about a lost sheep?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "It is for you, your brother or the wolf." The man said "What about a lost camel?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "Why should you take it as it has got its water-container (its stomach) and its hooves and it can reach the places of water and can eat the trees till its owner finds it?"
