PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM) TREATMENT TOWARDS ANIMALS!
"Fear Allah in your treatment of animals." (Abu Dawud, Kitab Jihad).
Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) narrated that she once found difficulty in riding a horse, so she kept reining it in repeatedly. The Prophet (peace be upon him) then said, “You must have gentleness.” (Muslim)
Once the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed by a camel that was so emaciated its back was one with its abdomen. Upon that, the Prophet said, “Fear Allah with regard to livestock. Ride them in a fitting way and eat them when they are in good condition.” (Abu Dawud)
He (peace be upon him) once entered the garden of man from the Ansar (Muslims of Madinah) and there was a camel. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw the camel it froze and its eyes started watering. Then the Prophet of Allah came to it and rubbed its ears so it calmed down. Then the Prophet said, “Who is the owner of this camel? Whose camel is this?” A young man from the Ansar told him, ”O Messenger of Allah, it belongs to me.” Then he told him, “Do you not fear Allah with regard to this beast which Allah has let you own? It complained to me that you starve it and tire it by overworking it and using it beyond its capacity.”
(Ahmad and Abu Dawud)
He (peace be upon him) saw some people sitting on animals so he commented, “Keep them safe and sound when riding them and when leaving them, don’t use them as chairs for your side talks in the streets and markets. A ridden animal might be better than its rider and might remember and mention Allah more than its rider does.”
(Ahmad and Abu Yali)
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once said, “A woman was doomed to enter the Fire because of a cat. She imprisoned it and neither fed it nor set it free to eat the rodents of the earth.” ( Bukhari )
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned against any human being causing a bird to feel panic about its little offspring. Someone took two chicks of a bird, which came in panic searching for its chicks. Prophet Muhammad then asked, “Who has distressed it by taking its chicks?” Then he asked them to return the chicks.
(Abu Dawud)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) once passed by a burned out anthill. When the Prophet saw it he asked, “Who has burned it?” When he was informed of who had done it, he said, “Only the Lord of Fire has the right to punish with fire.”
(Abu Dawud)
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prohibited the killing of a bird for the sake of pleasure and not for a specific beneficial need, the Prophet said, “Anyone who would kill a bird, this bird would come on Doomsday and say, “God, this person killed me for pleasure and not for benefit.” (An-Nasaai)
He (peace be upon him) saw a person preparing a lamb, laying it down while he was still sharpening his knife. Prophet Muhammad then commented, “Do you want to kill it twice? Sharpen your knife before you lay it down.”
(Bukhari and Muslim).
Once Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw a donkey on the road with a brand on its face, and said, “Allah’s curse is on him who branded it.” (Muslim)
"Verily, there is heavenly reward for every act of kindness done to a living animal."
