حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

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

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: A woman was punished because she had kept a cat tied until it died, and (as a punishment of this offence) she was thrown into the Hell. She had not provided it with food, or drink, and had not freed her so that she could eat the vermin of the earth.

আবুত তহির আহমাদ ইবনু আমর ও হারূন ইবনু সাঈদ আল আয়লী (রহঃ) ..... সুমামাহ ইবনু শুফাই (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমরা একবার রোম সাম্রাজ্যের রূদিস নামক উপদ্বীপে ফুযালাহ ইবনু উবায়দ এর সঙ্গে ছিলাম। আমাদের একজন সঙ্গী মারা গেলে ফুযালাহ তাকে কবরস্থ করতে আদেশ দিলেন। অতঃপর তার কবরকে সমান করে তৈরি করা হল।

অতঃপর তিনি বললেন, আমি রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে শুনেছি, তিনি (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) কবরকে সমতল করে তৈরি করতে আদেশ করেছেন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ২১১১, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

اثامہ بن شفی نے بیان کیا ، کہا : ہم سرزمین روم کے جزیرہ رودس ( Rhodes ) میں فضالہ بن عبید ( اوسی انصاری ) رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کے ساتھ تھے کہ ہمارا ایک دوست وفات پاگیا ۔ حضرت فضالہ بن عبید رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے ان کی قبر کے بارے میں حکم دیا تو اس کو برابرکردیا گیا ، پھر انھوں نے کہا : میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا ہے کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ان ( قبروں ) کو ( زمین کے ) برابر کرنے کا حکم دیتے تھے ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Abu Thahir Ahmad bin Amru] Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Amru bin Harits] -dalam jalur lain- Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Harun bin Sa'id Al Aili] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] telah menceritakan kepadaku [Amru bin Harits] -sementara dalam riwayat Abu Thahir- bahwa [Abu Ali Al Hamdani] telah menceitakan kepadanya -sementara dalam riwayat Harun- bahwa [Tsumamah bin Syufay] telah menceritakan kepadanya, ia berkata; Kami pernah berada di negeri Romawi bersama Fadlalah bin Ubaid, tepatnya di Rudis.

Lalu salah seorang dari sahabat kami meninggal dunia, maka [Fadlalah bin Ubaid] pun memerintahkan untuk menguburkannya dan meratakan kuburannya. Kemudian ia berkata; Saya telah mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memerintahkan untuk meratakan kuburan

demişki: Fadâletü'bnü Ubeyd ile Rum diyarında, Rodos'ta bulunuyorduk. Derken bir arkadaşımız vefat etti. Bunun üzerine Fadâletü'bnü Ubeyd emir vererek kabrini düz yaptırdı. Sonra şunu söyledi: «Ben, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'i kabirlerin yerle bir yapılmasını emir buyururken işittim.»

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.?!
