Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “A man suffered from thirst while he was walking on a journey. When he found a well, he climbed down into it and drank from it. Then he came out and saw a dog lolling its tongue from thirst and licking the ground. The man said: This dog has suffered thirst just as I have suffered from it. He climbed down into the well, filled his shoe with water, and caught it in his mouth as he climbed up. Then he gave the dog a drink. Allah appreciated this deed, so he forgave him.”

It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, is there a reward for charity even for the animals?” The Prophet said, “In every living being there is a reward for charity.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَطَشُ فَوَجَدَ بِئْرًا فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَلْهَثُ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنْ الْعَطَشِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَقَدْ بَلَغَ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ مِنْ الْعَطَشِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي كَانَ بَلَغَ مِنِّي فَنَزَلَ الْبِئْرَ فَمَلَأَ خُفَّهُ مَاءً ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَهُ بِفِيهِ حَتَّى رَقِيَ فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ

قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّ لَنَا فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ لَأَجْرًا فَقَالَ فِي كُلِّ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ

:salam:

Even the dogs worship Allah in their own way (afaik) yet many of us don't (of mankind) AFAIK.

This is an ayaat, why would a Dog look down, and be still like us Muslims, as if the dog was doing Janazah? Allahu alam.
Allahu alam.

This reminds me of "Just Nuisance". A maritime dog, a sailor's friend.

In the hebrew language the word dog translates into ''Loyal heart''

In the hebrew language the word dog translates into ''Loyal heart''

In Hebrew dog is translated as kelebh; (compare Arabic kelb, "dog"). Its meaning is best understood when one reads Bible:

It is used t

o compare a human to a dog or to call them a dog was to imply that they were of very low status (2 Kings 8:13; Exodus 22:31; Deuteronomy 23:18; 2 Samuel 3:8; Proverbs 26:11; Ecclesiastes 9:4; 2 Samuel 9:8; 1 Samuel 24:14).

In the New Testament, calling a human a dog meant that the person was considered evil (Philemon 3:2; Revelation 22:15).

So NO dog does not mean "loyal heart."
I am aware that now a days Jews use word "Kelev" for dog and they break it into two parts. Ke means like or as, Lev means heart. So they want to tell us the dog means like heart but this does not fit well when we read Bible. But of course, they want to promote how much love they have for dogs as its a modern trend to love dogs more than human beings.

By the way, I don't hate dogs, but keep them where they belong and that's in your backyard only if you need for security. Amount of money people spend on dogs is just insane. People living in West (mostly non-Muslims) could literally save so many children who are suffering in the world if they set their priorities right.
