📖 Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Yes.” I said, “Which charity is best?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "A drink of water."

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “There are three to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) look at them, nor will He purify them, and they will have a severe torment: A man who has extra water in his vessel but prevents a traveler from drinking it. And a man who trades goods after midday prayer swearing by Allah that he had taken it for a certain price but it is not so. And a man who pledges allegiance to a Muslim leader only for something in the world; if he is given he fulfills his pledge, and if he is not given he does not fulfill it.”
In another narration, the Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Allah will say: 'Today I prevent you from My Favor just as you withheld the favor of what you did not work for with your hands.'”

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “A man suffered from thirst while he was walking on a journey. When he found a well, he climbed down into it and drank from it. Then he came out and saw a dog lolling its tongue from thirst and licking the ground. The man said: 'This dog has suffered thirst just as I have suffered from it.' He climbed down into the well, filled his shoe with water, and caught it in his mouth as he climbed up. Then he gave the dog a drink.
Allah appreciated this deed, so He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) forgave him.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for charity even for the animals?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Yes, in every creature with a moist liver is a reward for charity.”
