Bayhaqi 1161 — The leftover of a cat

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ غَالِبٍ، ثنا الْحَوْضِيُّ، ثنا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ح. قَالَ: وَأنا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا حَجَّاجٌ، ثنا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ يَحْيَى - قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ: يَعْنِي امْرَأَتَهُ - عَنْ خَالَتِهَا وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَسَأَلَ الْوَضُوءَ فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ الْهِرَّةُ فَأَصْغَى الْإِنَاءَ إِلَيْهَا فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ كَأَنِّي أُنْكِرُ مَا يَصْنَعُ فَقَالَتْ: يَا ابْنَةَ أَخِي إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ لَنَا: " إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجِسَةٍ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ وَالطَّوَّافَاتِ " وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْحَوْضِيِّ أَنَّ خَالَتَهَا حَدَّثَتْهَا أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ فَدَخَلَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ عَلَيْهَا فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ الْهِرَّةُ فَأَصْغَى الْإِنَاءَ إِلَيْهَا فَجَعَلَتْ تَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا كَأَنَّهَا تُنْكِرُ مَا يَصْنَعُ، ثُمَّ الْبَاقِي مِثْلَهُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ.
(a) A woman narrates from her maternal aunt, who was the wife of Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), that Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me and asked for water. Meanwhile a cat passed by him, so he tilted the vessel. I looked at him questioningly, as though I disapproved of it, so he said: "O my niece! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: It is not impure; it only goes round among you."
(b) In the hadith of al-Hawdi it is that her maternal aunt narrated this hadith, and she was the wife of Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to her and called for water. Meanwhile a cat passed by, and he tilted the vessel for it. The wife of Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah began looking at him as though she disapproved of what he was doing. The rest of the hadith is the same.
