Praying witr on a mount: Abu Hanifah said praying witr on it does not suffice him

It is narrated from Kabshah bint Ka'b, who was married to one of the sons of Abu Qatadah, that she poured out water for Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) to perform ablution. A cat came and began to drink the water, so Abu Qatadah tilted the vessel for it. I began to look on, and he said: "O my niece, are you surprised? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The cat is not impure, for it is among those males or females who frequently come and go among you.'"

Ikrimah said: Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to tilt the vessel for the cat, and it would put its mouth into it. Then (even so) he would perform ablution with that water.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the cat is among the household goods (belongings).

Safiyyah bint Dab said: I asked Sayyiduna Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about the cat, and he said: "It is one of the household (that is, there is no harm in it)."

It is narrated from al-Jurayri that a cat put its mouth into Abu al-Ala's pure water, and he then performed ablution with what the cat had left. And it is mentioned that the view of (Imam) Abu Hanifah is: he considered what a cat has left to be disliked (makruh).
