Sahih al-Bukhari 1355 (Book 24, Hadith 7)
health they have ever had (in the world), and if he had not paid their Zakat (in the world) then they
would tread him with their feet; and similarly, sheep will come to their owner in the best state of
health they have ever had in the world, and if he had not paid their Zakat, then they would tread him
with their hooves and would butt him with their horns.” The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “One of their rights is that
they should be milked while water is kept in front of them.” The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “I do not want anyone
of you to come to me on the Day of Resurrection, carrying over his neck a sheep that will be bleating.
Such a person will (then) say, ‘O Muhammad! (please intercede for me,) I will say to him. ‘I can’t help
you, for I conveyed Allah’s Message to you.’ Similarly, I do not want anyone of you to come to me
carrying over his neck a camel that will be grunting. Such a person (then) will say “O Muhammad!
(please intercede for me).” I will say to him, “I can’t help you for I conveyed Allah’s message to you.”
