Volume 3, Book 40, Number 552:
Narrated Asma' bint Abi Bakr:
The Prophet prayed the eclipse prayer, and then said, "Hell was displayed so close that I said, 'O my
Lord ! Am I going to be one of its inhabitants?"' Suddenly he saw a woman. I think he said, who was
being scratched by a cat. He said, "What is wrong with her?" He was told, "She had imprisoned it (i.e.
the cat) till it died of hunger."
