The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A woman entered the Fire because of a cat she had tied up. She neither fed it nor released it to eat from the vermin of the earth, until it died of starvation."Zuhri said, "This was mentioned so that no man may rely complacently on his deeds, nor any man despair of mercy."
