Chapter 1 · Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ صَالِحِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ التَّمَّارِ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، أَنَّ مَوْلَاتَهَا أَرْسَلَتْهَا بِهَرِيسَةٍ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَوَجَدَتْهَا تُصَلِّي، فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَيَّ أَنْ ضَعِيهَا، فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ فَأَكَلَتْ مِنْهَا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَتْ أَكَلَتْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَكَلَتِ الْهِرَّةُ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ عَلَيْكُمْ ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَتَوَضَّأُ بِفَضْلِهَا.

Her mistress sent her with some pudding (harisah) to Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا who was offering prayer. She made a sign to me to place it down. A cat came and ate some of it, but when Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا finished her prayer, she ate from the place where the cat had eaten. She stated: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: It is not unclean: it is one of those who go round among you. She added: I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم performing ablution from the water left over by the cat.
