Sahih al-Bukhari 3318, Sahih Muslim 2242

The woman and the cat

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

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.

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.
