"While a man was walking on a path, he became extremely thirsty. He found a well, descended into it, drank, and came out. Then he saw a dog panting and eating the soil out of thirst. The man said: 'This dog has reached the same level of thirst as I had.' So he descended into the well, filled his shoe, held it with his mouth, climbed up, and gave the dog water. Allāh appreciated his deed and forgave him." They said: "O Messenger of Allāh, is there a reward for us in [serving] animals?" He said: "In every living being with a moist liver, there is a reward."
