Today’s Beautiful Hadith is about Cats
It was narrated from Kabshah bint Ka'ab bin Malik (RA) that Abu Qatadah (RA) entered upon her, then she narrated the following: "I poured some water for him for Wudu', and a cat came and drank from it, so he tilted the vessel for it to drink." Kabshah said: "He saw me looking at him and said: 'Are you surprised, O daughter of my brother?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'They are not impure, rather they are among the males and females (animals) who go around among you."
(Sunan an-Nasa'i 340, Book 2, Hadith 16)
Cats have a great history with our Messenger (ﷺ) and in this beautiful Hadith, we learn of their purity. Taking care of animals is a blessed act in Islam as they are all creatures of Allah. Learn more about taking care of Allah's creations here.
