Riyad as-Salihin 966 (Book 7, Hadith 11) #37455
Compassion Towards Animals

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to be kind and compassionate towards animals, and to use them for our benefit when they are healthy.

Sahl bin 'Amr known as Ibn Al-Hanzaliyyah reported: The Messenger of Allah happened to pass by a camel whose belly was sticking to its back (because of hunger), whereupon he said, "Fear Allah in respect of these dumb (animals). Ride them while they are fit, and slaughter them and eat their meat when they are fit". Abu Dawud.
وعن سهل بن عمرو -وقيل سهل بن الربيع بن عمرو الأنصاري المعروف بابن الحنظلية، وهو من أهل بيعة الرضوان، رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ مر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ببعير قد لحق ظهره بطنه، فقال‏:‏ ‏ "‏اتقوا الله في هذه البهائهم المعجمة، فاركبوها صالحة وكلوها صالحة‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
