مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَرْمَلَةَ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي قَالَتْ:
« كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ؓ فَأُهْدِيَ لَهَا صَحْفَةٌ فِيهَا خُبْزٌ وَلَحْمٌ، وَقَامَتْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَقُمْنَا نُصَلِّي، فَخَالَفَتْ هِرَّةٌ إِلَى الطَّعَامِ فَأَكَلَتْ مِنْهُ. فَلَمَّا أَنْ سَلَّمْنَا أَخَذَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ ؓ الْقَصْعَةَ فَكَوَّرَتْهَا حَتَّى كَانَ حَيْثُ أَكَلَتِ الْهِرَّةُ مِنْ نَحْوِهَا، فَأَكَلَتْ مِنْهُ

✧ "I was with Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ ؓ, when a dish containing bread and meat was gifted to her. She stood for prayer and we stood to pray. A cat got to the food and ate from it. When we finished, Umm Salamah ؓ took the bowl and turned it around until the place where the cat had eaten was facing her, and she ate from it."
