أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: قُرِئَ عَلَى ابْنِ وَهْبٍ: أَخْبَرَكَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: وَثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدَةَ بِنْتِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ كَبْشَةَ بِنْتِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ ابْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَسَكَبَتْ لَهُ وَضُوءًا فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ تَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ فَأَصْغَى لَهَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْإِنَاءَ حَتَّى شَرِبَتْ قَالَتْ كَبْشَةُ: فَرَآنِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: " أَتَعْجَبِينَ يَا بِنْتَ أَخِي قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ إِنَّهَا مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَالطَّوَّافَاتِ " هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ فِي الْمُوَطَّأِ وَقَدْ قَصَّرَ بَعْضُ الرُّوَاةِ بِرِوَايَتِهِ فَلَمْ يُقِمْ إِسْنَادَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى سَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ: جَوَّدَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَرِوَايَتُهُ أَصَحُّ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ غَيْرِهِ، قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ بِقَرِيبٍ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ مَالِكٍ.
Sayyidah Kabshah bint Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with her), who was the wife of the son of Abu Qatadah: Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her, and she poured water for ablution for him. Meanwhile a cat came and began to drink from it. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) tilted the vessel until it drank its fill. Sayyidah Kabshah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) saw me while I was looking at him in amazement. He said: O my niece! Are you amazed? I said: Yes. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It (the cat) is not impure; it is among those who go round among you."
Thus Malik bin Anas narrated it in al-Muwatta'; some narrators fell short in narrating it and did not establish its chain properly. Abu Isa (al-Tirmidhi) said: I asked Muhammad, meaning Ibn Isma'il al-Bukhari, about this hadith, and he said: Malik bin Anas narrated this hadith with an excellent chain, and his narration is more authentic than the narration of others.
