Riyad as-Salihin: Book 17, Hadith 90

Ibn ‘Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “A woman was punished in Hell because of a cat which she had confined until it died. She did not give it to eat or to drink when it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the vermin of the earth.”

وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏
“‏عذبت امرأة في هِرة حبستها حتى ماتت، فدخلت فيها النار، لا هي أطعمتها وسقتها، إذ هي حبستها، ولا هي تركتها تأكل من خشاش الأرض‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ((خشاش الأرض)) يفتح الخاء المعجمة وبالشين المعجمة المكررة، وهي: هوامها وحشراتها.
