وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ أَكْلِ الْهِرَّةِ وَأَكْلِ ثَمَنِهَا. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ

Jabir said the Prophet forbade eating cats or what is paid for them. 11. This might be either what was paid in kind, or what was bought with money paid for them.Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi transmitted it.
