Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نِعْمَ الصَّدَقَةُ اللِّقْحَةُ الصَّفِيُّ مِنْحَةً وَالشَّاةُ الصَّفِيُّ مِنْحَةً تَغْدُو بِإِنَاءٍ وَتَرُوحُ بِآخَرَ»

Translation

Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘A fine milch camel given on loan, and a fine milch sheep given on loan, are excellent charity: one goes out with a vessel of milk in the morning and returns with another in the evening.’

Translation notes

  • The Arabic describes a prized, productive milch animal given as a temporary loan. The English witness includes a collection attribution not present in the source passage.
