Back to today's daily hadith
moderation

Don't waste water, even at a river

لَا تُسْرِفْ فِي الْمَاءِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ عَلَى نَهْرٍ جَارٍ

La tusrif fi-l-ma'i wa in kunta 'ala naharin jar.

"Do not waste water, even if you are at a flowing river."

Narrated by Abdullah ibn 'Amr. Sunan Ibn Majah 425 (attribution debated; commonly cited)

A short reflection

Consumption is a character trait, not a supply question. Even abundance is no excuse to be careless.
