\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi\nTalha from Humayda bint Abi Ubayda ibn Farwa that her maternal aunt\nKabsha bint Kab ibn Malik, who was the wife of the son of Abu Qatada\nal-Ansari, told her that once Abu Qatada was visiting her and she\npoured out some water for him to do wudu with. Just then a cat came to\ndrink from it, so he tilted the vessel towards it to let it drink.\nKabsha continued, "He saw me looking at him and said, 'Are you\nsurprised, daughter of my brother?' I said, 'Yes.' He replied that the\nMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,\ncats are not impure. They intermingle with you .' "\n\n\nYahya\nsaid that Malik said, "There is no harm in that unless one sees\nimpurities on the cat's mouth."\n\n

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ فَرْوَةَ، عَنْ خَالَتِهَا، كَبْشَةَ بِنْتِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ - وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ ابْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ - أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهَا أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَسَكَبَتْ لَهُ وَضُوءًا فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ لِتَشْرَبَ مِنْهُ فَأَصْغَى لَهَا الإِنَاءَ حَتَّى شَرِبَتْ قَالَتْ كَبْشَةُ فَرَآنِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَتَعْجَبِينَ يَا ابْنَةَ أَخِي قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏\n"‏ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَوِ الطَّوَّافَاتِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
