وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ فَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ تُعَذَّبُ فِي هِرَّةٍ لَهَا رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ جُوعًا وَرَأَيْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْخُزَاعِيَّ يَجُرُّ قُصْبَهُ فِي النَّارِ وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ سَيَّبَ السَّوَائِبَ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Jabir Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said. "Hell was brought before me (to be shown). I saw in it, a woman of the Banu Isra'il. She was being punished because of a cat belonging to her. She had tied it up and did not feed it herself or permit it to eat the worms or insects of the earth. So it died of hunger. I also saw (in it) Amr ibn aamir Khuza'i. He was dragging his intestines in hell. He was the first person to let a she-camel pasture at will (and so introduced the practice)."
