abudawud:76ʿAbdullāh b. Maslamah > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > Dāwud b. Ṣāliḥ b. Dīnār al-Tammār from his mother > Mawlātahā

Dawud ibn Salih ibn Dinar at-Tammar quoted his mother as saying that her mistress sent her with some pudding (harisah) to Aisha who was offering prayer. She made a sign to me to place it down. A cat came and ate some of it, but when Aisha finished her prayer, she ate from the place where the cat had eaten. She stated: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It is not unclean: it is one of those who go round among you. She added: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution from the water left over by the cat.  

أبو داود:٧٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ صَالِحِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ التَّمَّارِ عَنْ أُمِّهِ

أَنَّ مَوْلاَتَهَا أَرْسَلَتْهَا بِهَرِيسَةٍ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَوَجَدْتُهَا تُصَلِّي فَأَشَارَتْ إِلَىَّ أَنْ ضَعِيهَا فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ فَأَكَلَتْ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَتْ أَكَلَتْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَكَلَتِ الْهِرَّةُ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ بِفَضْلِهَا

[Machine] That a woman gifted Aisha a parchment of camel meat. Aisha came while she was standing in prayer and she signaled to Aisha to put it down. So she put it down. Aisha had some women with her, and a cat came and ate from it, whether it was a big bite or a small one. When it left, Aisha said to the women, "Eat, for they began to guard the place where the cat's mouth had been. So Aisha took it, turned it around, and ate it. She said, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , said, "It is not impure, as it is from the tawafin and tawafat, and I have seen the Messenger of Allah, may ﷺ , do ablution with it."' It is also narrated from other ways from Aisha in its meaning, and what we have mentioned is sufficient.
