Sahih Muslim 2067d (Book 37, Hadith 12) #12497
Generosity and Kindness of Giving Water

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man named Hudhaifa who was given water in a silver vessel by another man in Mada'in.

Shu'ba reported from al-Hakam that he heard 'Abd al-Rahmin (i. e. Ibn Abu Laila) as saying: I personally saw Hudhaifa asking for water in Mada'in and a man giving it to him in a silver vessel. The rest of the hadith is the same.
وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى - قَالَ شَهِدْتُ حُذَيْفَةَ اسْتَسْقَى بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَأَتَاهُ إِنْسَانٌ بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُكَيْمٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ

The hadith also shows us the importance of helping those who are less fortunate than us, even if it means giving something small like a glass of water. The man in this hadith gave Hudhaifa a silver vessel full of water, which shows his generosity and kindness towards him despite not knowing him personally or having any obligation to do so.
