The woman and the cat

Sunday, September 29, 1996

دَخَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّارَ فِي هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا، فَلَا هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا، وَلَا هِيَ تَرَكَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ
Transliteration

Dakhalati-mra'atu-n-nara fi hirratin rabatat-ha, fa-la hiya at'amat-ha, wa la hiya tarakat-ha ta'kulu min khashashi-l-ard.

Translation

A woman entered the Fire because of a cat she had tied up. She did not feed it, nor did she let it eat from the creatures of the earth.

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar·Sahih al-Bukhari 3318, Sahih Muslim 2242
Reflection

Cruelty to a small thing, named directly, set against Paradise. The opposite of the man and the dog. Both hadiths sit next to each other in the books.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
