The Man and the Thirsty Dog

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told of a man travelling on a very hot day, who climbed down a deep well to drink. Coming out, he saw a dog panting and licking the dry soil, so he climbed down again, filled his shoe with water and carried it up in his mouth for the dog. Allah was pleased with this kind act and forgave his sins.
