سُنَنُ ابْنِ مَاجَهْ
Sunan Ibn Majah 369
The Book of Purification and its Sunnah
Ablution with water left over by a cat and the concession in that
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ الْهِرَّةُ لاَ تَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ لأَنَّهَا مِنْ مَتَاعِ الْبَيْتِ .
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."
