What does the Prophet Muhammad
(Peace be upon Him) say about digging wells and providing water?
A Companion of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him),
Sa'd ibn Ubadah, asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), "Umm Sa'd has died; what
form of Charity (Sadaqah) is best?" He (PBUH) replied: "Water (is best)." He
dug a well and said: It is for Umm Sa'd (Abu-Dawood No. 1677)
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A man felt
very thirsty while he was on the way, there he came across a well. He went down
the well, quenched his thirst and came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and
licking mud because of excessive thirst. He said to himself, "This dog is
suffering from thirst as I did." So, he went down the well again and filled his
shoe with water and watered it. Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him.
The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving the
animals?" He replied: "Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate (living
being)." (Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 43, No. 486)
