Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

wayfarer, and to those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not love anyone who is self-conceited and boastful. ⦗Qur’an 4:36⦘

1608 – Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “A woman was punished on account of a cat that she locked up until it died, and because of it she entered the Fire. While she kept it confined she neither fed it nor gave it water, nor did she release it so that it might eat of the insects of the earth.” ⦗Agreed upon⦘

khashāsh al-arḍ—with kh and a doubled sh—means the earth’s vermin and small insects.

1608/1 (2) – From the same Companion: He once passed by some Quraysh youths who had fixed a bird in place and were shooting at it, giving the owner of the bird every arrow that missed the mark. When they saw Ibn ʿUmar they dispersed. He said, “Who has done this? May Allah curse the one who has done this! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed anyone who takes a living creature as a target.” ⦗Agreed upon⦘

al-gharaḍ—spelled with ghayn and rā’—is the target, the thing aimed at.

1609 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade restraining animals.” ⦗Agreed upon⦘

That is, confining them in order to kill them.

1610 – Abū ʿAlī Suwayd ibn Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I found myself one of seven brothers of the clan of Muqarrin. We had no servant except one female slave, and the youngest of us slapped her. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to set her free.” ⦗Muslim⦘

(1) That is, arrogantly. (2) The original manuscript inadvertently omitted the number of this hadith; I have therefore treated it as belonging to the preceding hadith and given it this sub-number.

السَّبِيلِ ، وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ مُخْتَالًا (١) فَخُورًا ﴾ [سورة النساء الآية : ٢٦] . ١٦٠٨ - وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما ، أن رسول الله ﷺ ، قال : « عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ سَجَنَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ ، فَدَخَلَتْ فِيهَا النَّارَ ، لَا هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَسَقَتْهَا ، إِذْ حَبَسَتْهَا ، وَلَا هِيَ تَرَكَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ » متفق عليه . « خَشَاشُ الْأَرْضِ » بفتح الخاء المعجمة وبالشين المعجمة المكررة ، وهي : هَوَامُّهَا وَحَشَرَاتُهَا . ١٦٠٨/١ (٢) - وَعَنْهُ : أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِفِتْيَانٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَدْ نَصَبُوا طَيْرًا وَهُمْ يَرْمُونَهُ ، وَقَدْ جَعَلُوا لِصَاحِبِ الطَّيْرِ كُلَّ خَاطِئَةٍ مِنْ نَبْلِهِمْ ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ابْنَ عُمَرَ تَفَرَّقُوا ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا ؟ لَعَنَ اللهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ، لَعَنَ مَنْ اتَّخَذَ شَيْئًا فِيهِ الرُّوحُ غَرَضًا . متفق عليه . « الْغَرَضُ » بفتح الغين المعجمة والراء وهو الهدف والشَّيءُ الذي يُرمى إليه . ١٦٠٩ - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال : نهى رسول الله ﷺ أن تُصْبَرَ الْبَهَائِمُ . متفق عليه . ومعناه : تُحْبَسُ لِلْقَتْلِ . ١٦١٠ - وعن أبي علي سويد بن مقرن رضي الله عنه قال : لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي سَابِعَ سَبْعَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي مُقَرِّنٍ مَا لَنَا خَادِمٌ إِلَّا وَاحِدَةٌ لَطَمَهَا أَصْغَرُنَا فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نُعْتِقَهَا . رواه مسلم .
