It was narrated from ‘Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “A woman was punished because of a cat which she imprisoned until it died, and she entered Hell because of that. She did not feed it or give it water when she imprisoned it, and she did not let it eat from the vermin of the earth.”

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ الضُّبَعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ سَجَنَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ فَدَخَلَتْ فِيهَا النَّارَ ، لاَ هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَسَقَتْهَا ، إِذْ حَبَسَتْهَا ، وَلاَ هِيَ تَرَكَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “A woman was punished because of a cat that she did not feed or give water, and she did not let it eat from the vermin of the earth.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ، لَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا ، وَلَمْ تَسْقِهَا ، وَلَمْ تَتْرُكْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “While a man was walking on the road, he became very thirsty. He found a well so he went down into it and frank, then he came out. There he saw a dog that was panting and biting the ground out of thirst. The man said: ‘This dog is feeling the same thirst that I felt.’ So he went back down into the well and filled his shoe with water, then he held it in his mouth until he climbed back up, and he gave the water to the dog. Allah appreciated (his action) and forgive him.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, will we have reward with regard to these animals? He said: ‘In every living thing there is reward.”’

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، فِيمَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَطَشُ ، فَوَجَدَ بِئْرًا ، فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَلْهَثُ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنَ الْعَطَشِ ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَقَدْ بَلَغَ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي كَانَ بَلَغَ مِنِّي ، فَنَزَلَ الْبِئْرَ فَمَلأَ خُفَّهُ مَاءً ، ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَهُ بِفِيهِ حَتَّى رَقِيَ فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، وَإِنَّ لَنَا فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ لأَجْرًا ؟ فَقَالَ : فِي كُلِّ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (s.a.w): “A prostitute saw a dog on a hot day that was circling a well and its tongue was hanging out because of thirst. She drew some water for it in her shoe, and she was forgiven (by Allah).”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنَّ امْرَأَةً بَغِيًّا رَأَتْ كَلْبًا فِي يَوْمٍ حَارٍّ يُطِيفُ بِبِئْرٍ ، قَدْ أَدْلَعَ لِسَانَهُ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ ، فَنَزَعَتْ لَهُ بِمُوقِهَا فَغُفِرَ لَهَا.
