Sesungguhnya kucing tidaklah najis, ia binatang yang selalu mengelilingi kalian

Imam Ibnu Majah : 361

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ أَنْبَأَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْحَقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَنْ حُمَيْدَةَ بِنْتِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ كَبْشَةَ بِنْتِ كَعْبٍ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ بَعْضِ وَلَدِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَأَنَّهَا صَبَّتْ لِأَبِي قَتَادَةَ مَاءً يَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ تَشْرَبُ فَأَصْغَى لَهَا الْإِنَاءَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَةَ أَخِي أَتَعْجَبِينَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ هِيَ مِنْ الطَّوَّافِينَ أَوْ الطَّوَّافَاتِ

Narrated to us Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah, narrated to us Zaid bin Al Hubab, narrated to us Malik bin Anas, informed me Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abu Thalhah Al Anshari, from Humaidah binti Ubaid bin Rifa'ah, from Kabsyah binti Ka'ab, wife of one of Abu Qotadah’s sons, she poured wudhu water for Abu Qotadah. A cat came to drink, so he tilted the vessel for it. I kept watching him, and he said: 'O my niece, are you surprised?' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The cat is not najis; it is among the creatures that roam around.'
