Respecting Water Sources

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his companions not to drink water from a certain well and to throw away the dough they had kneaded with it.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: When Allah's Messenger landed at Al-Hijr during the Ghazwa of Tabuk, he ordered his companions not to drink water from its well or reserve water from it. They said, "We have already kneaded the dough with its water. and also filled our bags with its water'.' On that, the Prophet ordered them to throw away the dough and pour out the water.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ بْنِ حَيَّانَ أَبُو زَكَرِيَّاءَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمَّا نَزَلَ الْحِجْرَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ لاَ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ بِئْرِهَا، وَلاَ يَسْتَقُوا مِنْهَا فَقَالُوا قَدْ عَجَنَّا مِنْهَا، وَاسْتَقَيْنَا‏.‏ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَطْرَحُوا ذَلِكَ الْعَجِينَ وَيُهَرِيقُوا ذَلِكَ الْمَاءَ‏.‏ وَيُرْوَى عَنْ سَبْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ وَأَبِي الشُّمُوسِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ أَمَرَ بِإِلْقَاءِ الطَّعَامِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيَّ ‏ "‏ مَنِ اعْتَجَنَ بِمَائِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about respecting water sources. It was narrated by Ibn 'Umar that when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ landed at Al-Hijr during the Ghazwa of Tabuk, he ordered his companions not to drink water from its well or reserve water from it. They said that they had already kneaded dough with its water and filled their bags with it, but the Prophet ﷺ still ordered them to throw away the dough and pour out the water. This teaches us that we should respect all sources of water, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem. We should never take advantage of them without permission or waste any amount of it unnecessarily. We must also be mindful of our actions and think before we act so as not to cause any harm or damage in our environment.

This hadith also teaches us about obedience; even though his companions were reluctant to follow his orders, they still did so out of respect for him as their leader and teacher. This shows us how important it is for us to obey those in authority over us, especially if what they are asking is reasonable and beneficial for everyone involved.

The values taught in this hadith are obedience, respect for nature, mindfulness towards our environment, humility towards authority figures, and responsibility towards resources given by Allah SWT .
