أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدَةَ بِنْتِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ كَبْشَةَ بِنْتِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا فَسَكَبْتُ لَهُ وَضُوءًا فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ فَشَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ فَأَصْغَى لَهَا الإِنَاءَ حَتَّى شَرِبَتْ قَالَتْ كَبْشَةُ فَرَآنِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَتَعْجَبِينَ يَا ابْنَةَ أَخِي قُلْتُ نَعَمْ . قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَالطَّوَّافَاتِ " .
Qutaybah, from Malik, from Ishaq ibn 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah, from Humaydah bint 'Ubayd ibn Rifa'ah, from Kabshah bint Ka'b ibn Malik, reported that Abu Qatadah came to her. Then he mentioned a word to that effect, so I poured out water for his ablution. A cat came and drank from it, and he lowered the vessel for it until it had drunk. Kabshah said: He saw me looking at him and said, 'Are you surprised, niece?' I said, 'Yes.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: It is not impure; rather, it is among the male and female creatures that move about among you.'
