Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"A woman was tortured and was put in Hell because of a cat which she had
kept locked till it died of hunger." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) further said, (Allah knows better) Allah said (to the woman),
'You neither fed it nor watered when you locked it up, nor did you set it free
to eat the insects of the earth."

Abu Ja'far 'Abdullah bin Ja'far (May Allah
be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made me
ride behind him one day and confided something to me which I shall never
disclose to anyone. ('Abdullah added:) He ((ﷺ) preferred
to screen himself from others when responding to the call of nature, either
behind a wall or the trunk of a date-palm.
[Muslim].
Al-Barqani added: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) entered an
orchid belonging to an Ansari and saw there a camel. When it saw him, it began
to groan and its eyes shed tears. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) approached it and patted it on the hump and the base of its
head until it quieted down. Then he (ﷺ) asked,
"Who is the owner of this camel? To whom does it belong?" An Ansari
youth stepped forward and said: "It is mine O Messenger of Allah!" He
said, "Do you not fear Allah in respect of this beast which Allah has
placed in your possession? This camel is complaining to me that you starve it
and put it to toil."
[Abu Dawud].
