Sahih Muslim 2242d (Book 45, Hadith 172) #13750
The Punishment of Confining Animals

SUMMARY: A woman was punished for not allowing a cat to eat or drink and not freeing it so that it could eat the vermin of the earth.

Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger said: A woman was tormented because of a cat which she had confined until it died and she had to get into Hell. She did not allow it either to eat or drink as it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the vermin of the earth.
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الضُّبَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَسْمَاءَ - عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ سَجَنَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ فَدَخَلَتْ فِيهَا النَّارَ لاَ هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَسَقَتْهَا إِذْ هِيَ حَبَسَتْهَا وَلاَ هِيَ تَرَكَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ

This hadith is about a woman who was punished for her mistreatment of an animal. She confined a cat until it died, without providing food or water, and without freeing it so that it could find its own food. This teaches us that we should be kind to animals and take care of them properly. We should provide them with food, water, shelter, and freedom when necessary. We should also be aware that Allah will punish us if we mistreat animals in any way. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us to be mindful of our actions as they can have consequences even after death.
