*   {a man walking along a path felt very thirsty.  reaching a well, he descended into it, drank his fill, and came up.  then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst.  the man said, “this dog is feeling the same thirst that i felt.”  so he went down into the well again, filled his shoe with water, and gave the dog a drink.  so, god thanked him and forgave his sins.}  the prophet pbuh was asked, “messenger of god, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?”  he said: {there is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.}¹⁰
