Sunan Abi Dawud 3524 (Book 24, Hadith 109) #23814
Caring for Neglected Animals

SUMMARY: Taking care of animals that have been neglected by their owners is a noble act.

Narrated Amir ash-Sha'bi: The Prophet said: If anyone finds an animal whose owners were helpless to provide fodder to it and so they turned it out (of their house), and he took it and looked after it, it will belong to him. Abu Dawud said: This is the tradition of Hammad. It is more plain and perfect.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، - قَالَ عَنْ أَبَانَ، أَنَّ عَامِرًا الشَّعْبِيَّ، - حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ وَجَدَ دَابَّةً قَدْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا أَهْلُهَا أَنْ يَعْلِفُوهَا فَسَيَّبُوهَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَحْيَاهَا فَهِيَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبَانَ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ عَمَّنْ قَالَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ وَهُوَ أَبْيَنُ وَأَتَمُّ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take care of neglected animals.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that if we come across an animal whose owners are unable to provide it with food, and they have turned it out of their house, then we should take it in and look after it. This is a noble act as the animal will then belong to us. We should always be kind to animals and take care of them, even if they do not belong to us. It is important for children to learn this lesson so that they can grow up understanding the importance of being kind and caring towards all creatures.
