أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ إِسْحَاق بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدَةَ بِنْتِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ ، عَنْ كَبْشَةَ بِنْتِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَ ابْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَسَكَبَتْ لَهُ وَضُوءًا، فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ تَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ، فَأَصْغَى لَهَا أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْإِنَاءَ حَتَّى شَرِبَتْ قَالَتْ كَبْشَةُ فَرَآنِي أَنْظُرُ، فَقَالَ : أَتَعْجَبِينَ يَا بِنْتَ أَخِي؟، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ، قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :" إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ الطَّوَّافِينَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَالطَّوَّافَاتِ "

Al-Hakam bin Al-Mubarak told us, Malik told us, on the authority of Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abi Talha, on the authority of Hamida bint Ubaid bin Rifa’ah, on the authority of Kabsha bint Ka’b ibn Malik, who was under Ibn Abi Qatada, that Abu Qatada, may God be pleased with him, entered upon her. So she poured water for him to perform ablution, and a cat came to drink from it, so Abu Qatada listened to her from the vessel until she drank. She said, “A ram saw me.” Look. He said: Are you surprised, my niece? I said: Yes. He said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “It is not impure, rather it is From those who circumambulate upon you and the circumambulating women.”
