The conduct of Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) with Non-Muslims (Episode 103)

(Ibn-e-Zaib Bhikari)

As you have read in previous episodes that we Muslims are the followers of the great Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) who had exemplary good conduct with non-Muslims. Now read some incidents of his conduct with animals.

            Hazrat Abu Huraira (رضی اللہ تعالی عنہ) said that once Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) told that an adulterer woman was forgiven by Allah Almighty because she found a dog dying with thirst. She put off her shoes, tied it with her head cloth and fetched some water from the well for the dog. Someone asked Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) is it a matter of blessing from Allah to be compassionate towards animals. He replied that Allah Almighty sends His blessings by showing mercy to every living thing. (Bukhari and Muslim)
