We just learnt in the previous editions of this column about the generous attitude of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ­ with others, now let’s read some incidents of his benevolent nature towards animals.

Fear Allah when handling the animals:
The prophet ﷺ­­ passed by a camel which was so weak his stomach was sunken to his back. The prophet ﷺ­said: "In the matter of these animals, who cannot talk, you should fear Allah. When the animals are better then you should ride them and while they remain in good health you should release them. (Abu Daaud)

Destined to hell due to a cat

Hazrat Umarرضی اللہ عنہ said the Prophet ﷺ­­ said that once a woman went to hell because of a mere cat because she tied up the cat and neither gave it food nor released her so she could at least eat on her own. (Bukhari, Muslim)
