The woman and the cat

دَخَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّارَ فِي هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا، فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا، وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ

Dakhalati-mra'atun-n-nara fi hirratin rabatatha, fa-lam tut'imha, wa lam tada'ha ta'kulu min khashashi-l-ard.

A woman entered the Fire because of a cat she tied up. She did not feed it, and she did not let it eat from the creatures of the earth.
