قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ:
دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ، وَاطَّلَعْتُ فِي النَّارِ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلِهَا الْأَغْنِيَاءَ وَالنِّسَاءَ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا ثَلَاثَةً يُعَذَّبُونَ: امْرَأَةً مِنْ حِمْيَرِ طُوَالَةَ، رَبَطَتْ هِرَّةً لَهَا فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَسْقِهَا، وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ، فَهِيَ تَنْهَشُ قُبُلَهَا وَدُبُرَهَا، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا أَخَا بَنِي دَعْدَعٍ الَّذِي كَانَ يَسْرِقُ الْحَاجَّ بِمِحْجَنِهِ، فَإِذَا فُطِنَ لَهُ، قَالَ: إِنَّمَا تَعَلَّقَ بِمِحْجَنِي، وَالَّذِي سَرَقَ بَدَنَتَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ

✧ I entered Paradise and saw that most of its inhabitants were the poor. I looked into the Fire and saw that most of its inhabitants were the rich and women. I saw in it three being punished: a woman from Himyar, of Tall stature, who tied up a cat of hers, neither feeding it nor giving it water, nor letting it eat from the vermin of the earth, so it was biting her front and back. And I saw in it the brother of Banu Da'da', who used to steal from the pilgrims with his hooked staff; when it was noticed, he would say, 'It got caught on my staff.' And the one who stole the two camels of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
