A man was once passing through a jungle. He began to feel very thirsty, so he went down a well to quench his thirst, by drinking some water. When he came out, he saw a very thirsty dog panting and licking the mud. The man felt very sorry for the dog, but had nothing with which to draw water from the well. He decided that the only way to help the dog, would be to use his leather socks and go down the well to fetch water. This is exactly what he did.
As he came up, he held the socks filled with water in his mouth. He then gave the water to the dog to drink.
What a happy ending to this of a brave man, isn’t it ? But that’s not all – Allah was pleased with this man’s deed and forgave him.
