Hadith
It was narrated from Kabshah bint Ka'b, who was married to one of the sons of Ab Qatadah, that:
She poured water for Abu Qatadah to perform ablution. A cat came and drank the water, and he tilted the vessel for it. She started looking at it (in surprise) and he said: "O daughter of my brother, do you find it strange? The Messenger of Allah said: 'They (cats) are not impure, they are of those who go around among you.'"
إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ هِيَ مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ أَوِ الطَّوَّافَاتِ
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
"The Messenger of Allah and I used to perform ablution from a single vessel, when the cat had drunk from it beforehand."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ تَوْبَةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَتَوَضَّأُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ، ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ قَدْ أَصَابَتْ مِنْهُ الْهِرَّةُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ .
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that:
The Messenger of Allah said: "Cats do not invalidate the prayer, because they are one of the things that are useful in the house."
الْهِرَّةُ لاَ تَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ لأَنَّهَا مِنْ مَتَاعِ الْبَيْتِ
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said:
"One of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) took a bath from a large vessel, then the Prophet (ﷺ) came and had a bath or ablution, and she said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I was sexually impure.' He said: 'Water does not become impure.'"
الْمَاءُ لاَ يُجْنِبُ
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that:
One of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) took a bath to cleanse herself from sexual impurity, then the Prophet (ﷺ) performed ablution and had a bath with the water left over from her ablution."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ اغْتَسَلَتْ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ أَوِ اغْتَسَلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ فَضْلِ وَضُوئِهَا .
