Talk:Muezza

This person hates cats and clearly has an agenda. The request for edit or removal should therefore be denied as they have proven themselves biased and having an agenda against cats, indicating potential mental problems as well as likely cruelty.

Shouldn't the article's title be Mu'izza? This is the standard transliteration of Arabic ﻣﻮﻴﺰا. -Al-Bargit 20:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Removal of unsourced text
I have decided to remove the line "It is also believed that when Muhammad would give sermons within his household he would often hold Muezza in his lap " I originally put this in, but myself and others have not been able to find a source.M2k41 (talk) 00:28, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Recursive citing
"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." uses http://www.muslimheritage.com/topics/default.cfm?TaxonomyTypeID=105&TaxonomySubTypeID=144&TaxonomyThirdLevelID=-1&ArticleID=686 as its source - but that article uses this Wikipedia article as its source for this story!

The story about Muezza is false
I asked on a famous Saudi fatwa site about Muezza and got following answer:

Question:

Salam alaikum,

On Wikipedia it says, the Prophet, sal Allahu alayhi wa salam, had a cat called Muezza. When the cat came to him and lay on his garment, he cut of the sleeve of the garment, so the cat continued sleeping and he could leave. Is that true?

Salam alaikum

Nuha

Answer:

All Praise is for Allah.

We have not seen any hadith which proves that the Prophet (peace be upon him) had a cat and the rest of the story. Apparently it is false and there is no need to resort to it to prove the compassion of the Prophet (peace be upon him) for animals. There are authentic hadiths which prove that, e.g. the hadith which mentions the Prophet (peace be upon him) letting a cat drink water from a vessel etc.

Allah knows best.

Picture?
I wonder if it's okay to have a picture of Muhammad's cat...&mdash; Chowbok  ☠  23:21, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

"M" pattern
The Arabic letter م  is quite different, so I wonder where this comes from, or if it has anything to do with Muslims at all... AnonMoos (talk) 08:17, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Seconded; this makes the speculation about Abyssinian cats even more absurd, and sounds like western diaspora invented Islamic folklore. -- xensyria T 15:41, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Actually i heard this story in Malaysia. It's clearly diasporic but not necessarily Western. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.197.8.190 (talk) 04:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Islam and cats
Combined, I think these two articles would have enough content for a decent sized article. The content is related. Smasongarrison (talk) 00:13, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
