حديث أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا أَوْ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ طَيْرٌ أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٌ إِلَاّ كَانَ لَهُ بِهِ صَدَقَةٌ.
Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
There is none amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, but is regarded as an act of charity for him. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 513, Vol. 3)
