Musnad Ahmad 8342 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى يَعْنِي بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِي دَارَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَدُونَهُمْ دَارٌ ، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، تَأْتِي دَارَ فُلَانٍ وَلَا تَأْتِي دَارَنَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لِأَنَّ فِي دَارِكُمْ كَلْبًا " ، قَالُوا : فَإِنَّ فِي دَارِهِمْ سِنَّوْرًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ السِّنَّوْرَ سَبُعٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit the house of an Ansari. There was another house behind theirs. This was burdensome for those people and they said, "O Messenger of Allah! You visit so-and-so's house but do not visit our house?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "The reason is that there is a dog in your house." They said, "But there is a cat in those people's house as well." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A cat is (such) a beast (that does not prevent the angels of mercy from entering)."
