Chapter on the Virtue of Providing Water

وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ إِبْرَادَ اَلْكَبِدِ اَلْحَرَّى وَ مَنْ سَقَى كَبِداً حَرَّى مِنْ بَهِيمَةٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا أَظَلَّهُ اَللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّ عَرْشِهِ يَوْمَ لاَ ظِلَّ إِلاَّ ظِلُّهُ.
Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام said: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Blessed and Exalted, loves the cooling of a burning liver. Whoever quenches the thirst of a burning liver- whether of an animal or otherwise, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will shade them under the shade of His Throne on the Day when there is no shade except His shade."
