Water is an inevitable need of man. Because Allah has provided this blessing in abundance we do not realize its value. A man whose throat parched with thirst would be in a better position to realize its value. As feeding the hungry is an act of virtue in Islam, giving water to the thirsty 1s also an act of goodness. In one tradition of the Prophet (PBUH), it has been said:
A Muslim, who gives water to another Muslim in thirst, would be given a sealed drink by Allah on the Day of Judgement.
The Prophet (PBUH) once said that once a person felt thirsty in a forest. When he found a well, he got into it and satisfied his thirst. When he came out, he saw a dog panting with thirst and licking the earth with a parched tongue. He got into the well again and soaked his socks in water. And then, he rinsed the socks into the mouth of the dog and thus satisfied its thirst. Allah liked this act of the person and He pardoned him. After listening to this, one companion asked the Prophet whether there was virtue in helping the animal also. The Prophet said:
There is a reward in every act of service to all living beings.
Once the Prophet advised a person about the acts of goodness and then said:
If you don't have the capacity for it, feed the hungry and give water to the thirsty.
