حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: أَنَّهُ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَجَعِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ الضَّالَّةَ تَرِدُ عَلَى حَوْضِ إِبِلِي، هَلْ لِي أَجْرٌ أَنْ أَسْقِيَهَا؟ فَقَالَ: " نَعَمْ، فِي الْكَبِدِ الْحَرَّى (٣) أَجْرٌ " (٤)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Suraqah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was present in the service of the Prophet (ﷺ) during his illness of death. I started asking the Prophet (ﷺ) questions, until I ran out of questions. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Remember some more." Among those questions, I also asked: "O Messenger of Allah! (ﷺ) If stray camels come to my pond, will I be rewarded for giving them water, even though I have filled that water for my own camels?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes! There is reward in (serving) every living being with a moist liver."
