to the necessity of respecting all animal species. He once told them
the following story: "A man was walking along a road, in very hot
weather. He saw a well and went down to quench his thirst. When he
climbed up again, he saw a dog panting with thirst and said to
himself: 'This dog is as thirsty as I was.' He then wentdown the well
again, filled his shoe with water and climbed up, holding it between
his teeth. He gave the dog to drink and God rewarded him and forgave
hissins." The Prophet was then asked: "O Prophet, are we rewarded for
treating animalswell?" And the Prophet answered: "Any good towardsa
living creature gets its reward." [Bukhari, Muslim]
