Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 455

وَعَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ قَالَ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ ، فَدَخَلَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَتْ : أَنْتَ الَّذِي تُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً عُذِّبَتْ فِي هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا ، فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَسْقِهَا ؟ فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ - يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ : هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ ؟ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ مَعَ مَا فَعَلَتْ كَانَتْ كَافِرَةً ، وَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - مِنْ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُ فِي هِرَّةٍ ، فَإِذَا حَدَّثْتَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ تُحَدِّثُ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Alqamah relates: We were sitting with Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) came in. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Are you the one who narrates that a woman was punished because of a cat which she had tied up, and she would neither give it anything to eat nor anything to drink?" Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard it from him" (by this Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah meant the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)). Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Do you know who that woman was? Along with what she did, that woman was also a disbeliever. The believer is too honoured before Allah Almighty for Allah to punish him because of a cat. When you narrate a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then examine what you are narrating."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
