Dawud b. Salih b. Dinar quoted his mother as saying that her mistress sent her to ‘A'isha with some hari a. [A dish of cooked meat and wheat.] She said that she found her praying and that she signed to her to lay it down. A cat came and ate some of it, but when ‘A'isha finished praying she ate from the place where the cat had eaten, stating that Allah's Messenger ﷺ had said, “It is not unclean; it is one of those who go round among you adding that she had seen Allah's Messenger ﷺ using water it had left to perform his ablution. Abu Dawud transmitted it.
