Sahih al-Bukhari 3321
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ الأَزْرَقُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، وَابْنِ، سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " غُفِرَ لاِمْرَأَةٍ مُومِسَةٍ مَرَّتْ بِكَلْبٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَكِيٍّ يَلْهَثُ، قَالَ كَادَ يَقْتُلُهُ الْعَطَشُ، فَنَزَعَتْ خُفَّهَا، فَأَوْثَقَتْهُ بِخِمَارِهَا، فَنَزَعَتْ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، فَغُفِرَ لَهَا بِذَلِكَ ".
Al-Hasan ibn al-Sabbah narrated to us: Ishaq al-Azraq narrated to us: ʿAwf narrated to us, from al-Hasan and Ibn Sirin, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: ‘A promiscuous woman was forgiven. She passed by a panting dog at the edge of a well and said, “It is nearly dying of thirst.” She removed her shoe, tied it with her head-cover, drew water for the dog, and was forgiven for that.’
Translation notes
Rendered مومسة as ‘promiscuous woman’ and preserved the direct observation about the dog’s thirst.
