حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضى الله عنهما

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ سَجَنَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ، فَدَخَلَتْ فِيهَا النَّارَ، لَا هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَلَا سَقَتْهَا إِذْ حَبَسَتْهَا، وَلَا هِيَ تَرَكَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “A lady was punished because of a cat which she had imprisoned till it died. She entered the (Hell) Fire because of it, for she neither gave it food nor water as she had imprisoned it, nor set it free to eat from the vermin of the earth.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, এক নারীকে একটি বিড়ালের কারণে আযাব দেয়া হয়েছিল। সে বিড়ালটিকে বেঁধে রেখেছিল। সে অবস্থায় বিড়ালটি মরে যায়। মহিলাটি ঐ কারণে জাহান্নামে গেল। কেননা সে বিড়ালটিকে খানা-পিনা কিছুই করাইনি এবং ছেড়েও দেয়নি যাতে সে যমীনের পোকা-মাকড় খেয়ে বেঁচে থাকত।

مجھ سے عبداللہ بن محمد بن اسماء نے بیان کیا کہا ہم سے جویریہ بن اسماء نے بیان کیا، ان سے نافع نے ان سے عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ” ( بنی اسرائیل کی ) ایک عورت کو ایک بلی کی وجہ سے عذاب دیا گیا تھا جسے اس نے قید کر رکھا تھا جس سے وہ بلی مر گئی تھی اور اس کی سزا میں وہ عورت دوزخ میں گئی۔

جب وہ عورت بلی کو باندھے ہوئے تھی تو اس نے اسے کھانے کے لیے کوئی چیز نہ دی، نہ پینے کے لیے اور نہ اس نے بلی کو چھوڑا ہی کہ وہ زمین کے کیڑے مکوڑے ہی کھا لیتی۔“

Abdullah b. Ömer r.a.'dan rivayete göre Resuluilah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Bir kadın ölünceye kadar bağladığı bir kedi sebebiyle azaba uğratıldı ve o kediden dolayı cehennem ateşine girdi. Kediyi hapsettiği halde ona yiyecek de vermedi, içecek bir şey de vermedi. Yerin haşeratından yiyebilsin diye de onu salmadı

What it means

In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told about a woman who was thrown into Hell – we seek refuge with Allah from it – because of a cat which she kept locked up until it died. She neither provided it with food and water while keeping it locked up, nor let it eat from the insects of the earth. If this is the punishment for doing this to animals, so how severe would it be in relation to the human being whose life is inviolable under Shariah, and whom Allah placed under one's care, like the wife, children, servants, etc.?!
