Distribution of Water
Chapter: The selling of wood and grass
Narrated Az-Zubair bin Al 'Awwam:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No doubt, one had better take a rope (and cut) and tie a bundle of wood and sell it whereby Allah will keep his face away (from Hell-fire) rather than ask others who may give him or not."
