English Translation
Kabshah bint Ka'b ibn Malik, who was married to Ibn Abi Qatadah, narrated that Abu Qatadah came to visit her. She poured water for his ablution, and a cat came to drink from it. He tilted the vessel for the cat to drink. Kabshah said: 'He saw me looking at him and said: Are you surprised, O daughter of my brother? The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: They (cats) are not impure; they are among those who go around among you.'
