Hadith #37
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عُذِّبَتْ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرٍّ أَوْ هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَلَمْ تُرْسِلْهُ فَيَأْكُلَ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ فَوَجَبَتْ لَهَا النَّارُ بِذَلِكَ
English Translation
Hasan narrated to us, Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, Abu al-Zubayr narrated to us, from Jabir (رضي الله عنه), that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "A woman was punished because of a cat — she tied it up until it died. She did not release it so it could eat from the vermin of the earth, nor did she feed it or give it water."
