bukhari:2364Ibn Abū Maryam > Nāfiʿ b. ʿUmar > Ibn Abū Mulaykah > Asmāʾ b. Abū Bakr

The Prophet ﷺ prayed the eclipse prayer, and then said, "Hell was displayed so close that I said, 'O my Lord ! Am I going to be one of its inhabitants?"' Suddenly he saw a woman. I think he said, who was being scratched by a cat. He said, "What is wrong with her?" He was told, "She had imprisoned it (i.e. the cat) till it died of hunger."  

البخاري:٢٣٦٤حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ

عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ الْكُسُوفِ فَقَالَ دَنَتْ مِنِّي النَّارُ حَتَّى قُلْتُ أَىْ رَبِّ وَأَنَا مَعَهُمْ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَخْدِشُهَا هِرَّةٌ قَالَ مَا شَأْنُ هَذِهِ قَالُوا حَبَسَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ جُوعًا
