mud because of excessive thirst. He said to himself, “This dog is suffering from thirst as I did.” So, he
went down the well again and filled his shoe with water and watered it. Allah thanked him for that
deed and forgave him. The people said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving the an –

When Allah gave victory to His Apostle over the people of Mecca, Allah’s Apostle stood up among
the people and after glorifying Allah, said, “Allah has prohibited fighting in Mecca and has given au –
thority to His Apostle and the believers over it, so fighting was illegal for anyone before me, and was
made legal for me for a part of a day, and it will not be legal for anyone after me. Its game should not
be chased, its thorny bushes should not be uprooted, and picking up its fallen things is not allowed
except for one who makes public announcement for it, and he whose relative is murdered has the
option either to accept a compensation for it or to retaliate.” Al-‘Abbas said, “Except Al-ldhkhir, for
we use it in our graves and houses.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Except Al-ldhkhir.” Abu Shah, a Yemenite,
stood up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Get it written for me.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Write it for Abu
Shah.” (The sub-narrator asked Al-Auza’i): What did he mean by saying, “Get it written, O Allah’s
Apostle?” He replied, “The speech which he had heard from Allah’s Apostle .”
