قََالَ : وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " رَبَطَتْ امْرَأَةٌ هِرًّا أَوْ هِرَّةً ، فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَتْرُكْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ ، فَأُدْخِلَتْ النَّارَ " .
And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A woman entered Hell only because of a cat which she had tied up; she neither fed it nor gave it water, nor did she let it go free so that it could eat the insects of the earth by itself.
