رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 2365. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "A woman was tortured and was put in (Hell) Fire because of a cat which she had kept locked till it died of hunger." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ further said, "Allāh knows better. Allāh said (to the woman), 'You neither fed it nor watered it when you locked it up, nor did you set it free to eat the vermin of the earth.' "
2365 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ حَبَسَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ جُوعًا، فَدَخَلَتْ فِيهَا النَّارَ» قَالَ: فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ: «لاَ أَنْتِ أَطْعَمْتِهَا وَلاَ سَقَيْتِهَا حِينَ حَبَسْتِيهَا، وَلاَ أَنْتِ أَرْسَلْتِهَا، فَأَكَلَتْ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ»
