The Nobility of Providing Water

SUMMARY: Providing water for people is a noble act and should be done with humility.

Narrated Abu Qatadah: That the Prophet said: "The one providing water for people is the last of them to drink". He said: There is something on this topic from Ibn Abi Awfa. Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ سَاقِي الْقَوْمِ آخِرُهُمْ شُرْبًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the nobility of providing water for people. It teaches us that when we provide water for others, we should do so with humility and generosity. We should not expect anything in return or think that we are better than those who receive the water from us. Instead, we should be humble and recognize that it is a great blessing to be able to help others in this way. The Prophet Muhammad also taught us that the one who provides water for people will be the last one to drink it himself - meaning he will get his reward in the afterlife instead of here on earth. This hadith encourages us to always think of others before ourselves and reminds us how important it is to help those around us who may need our assistance.
