    Default Muezza, cat of prophet mohammad(sw)!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muezza

    Muezza (or Mu'izza) (Arabic: معزة) is said to have been the Islamic prophet Muhammad's favorite cat.[1] The most famous story about Muezza recounts how the call to prayer was given, and as Muhammad went to put on one of his robes, he found his cat sleeping on one of the sleeves, and instead of disturbing the cat he cut off the sleeve and let him sleep[citation needed]. It has also been recorded that he used water that Muezza had drunk from for wudu.[2]

    Muslims are traditionally encouraged to regard cats as lovable and cherished creatures, and mistreating a cat (or any other animal) is seen as a severe sin in Islam.[3][4]

    Any authentic sources or story regarding this cat or any pet animals of prophet mohammad(sw)?

    or can anybody translate some part from this arabic article, it would be nice.

    jazakallah in advance.

    Salam alaikoum ;


    it is a very beautiful story : thanks for sharing . I love cats too
    The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "If, through fear of (displeasing) God, tears - even the size a fly's head - fall from any believer's eyes. . .he will be kept away from Hell."

    The article says that the Prophet affirmed that cats are not najis and that it's permissible to use water that they might have come in contact with for wudhu. It goes on to say that how could someone illiterate have known that cats are pure and dogs are najis when it has only recently been proven by science that cats don't have germs? Then it goes on to talk about a lot of stuff like it's tongue, etc. and lists some scientific test results to prove that cats aren't inherently najis. Then it goes on to tell some hadiths, but doesn't provide references.
