Riyad as-Salihin 896 (Book 6, Hadith 3) #37385
The Reward of Visiting, Feeding and Giving Water to Those in Need

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that Allah will ask us on the Day of Judgement why we did not visit, feed or give water to those in need when we had the opportunity.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "Verily, Allah, the Exalted, and Glorious will say on the Day of Resurrection: 'O son of Adam, I was ill but you did not visit Me'. He would say: 'O my Rabb, how could I visit you and You are the Rabb of the worlds?' Thereupon He would say: 'Did you not know that such and such a slave of Mine was ill but you did not visit him? Did you not realize that if you had visited him (you would have known that I was aware of your visit to him, for which I would reward you) you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I asked food from you but you did not feed Me'. He would submit: 'My Rabb, how could I feed You and You are the Rabb of the worlds?' He would say: 'Did you not know that such and such a slave of Mine asked you for food but you did not feed him? Did you not realize that if you had fed him, you would certainly have found (its reward) with Me? O son of Adam, I asked water from you but you did not give it to Me'. He would say: 'My Rabb, how could I give You (water) and You are the Rabb of the worlds?' Thereupon He would say: 'Such and such a slave of Mine asked you for water to drink but you did not give it to him. Did you not realize that if you had given him to drink you would have found (its reward) with Me?"' Muslim.
وعنه قالك قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ ‏"‏عن الله عزو جل يقول يوم القيامة‏:‏ ‏"‏يا ابن آدم مرضت فلم تعدني‏!‏ قال‏:‏ يا رب كيف أعودك وأنت رب العالمين‏؟‏‏!‏ قال‏:‏ أما علمت أن عبدي فلاناً مرض فلم تعده‏؟‏ أما علمت أنك لو عدته لوجدتني عنده‏؟‏ يا ابن آدم استطعمتك فلم تطعمني‏!‏ قال‏:‏ يا رب كيف أطعمك وأنت رب العالمين‏؟‏‏!‏ قال‏:‏ أما علمت أنه استطعمك عبدي فلان فلم تطعمه، أما علمت أنك لو أطعمته لوجدت ذلك عندي‏؟‏ يا ابن آدم استسقيتك فلم تسقني‏!‏ قال‏:‏ يارب كيف أسقيك وأنت رب العالمين‏؟‏‏!‏ قال‏:‏ استسقاك عبدي فلان فلم تسقه‏!‏ أما علمت أنك لو سقيته لوجدت ذلك عندي‏؟‏‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us about the importance of charity, compassion, generosity and kindness. It is a reminder that our actions have consequences and that if we do good deeds for others then Allah will reward us for it. We should always strive to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves by visiting them when they are ill, feeding them when they are hungry and giving them water when they are thirsty. By doing so, we can ensure that our good deeds will be rewarded by Allah on the Day of Judgement. Furthermore, this hadith also serves as a reminder to be kind and generous towards others even if it is something small like offering a glass of water or sharing food with someone who needs it more than you do.
