Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ أَمْسَكَ كَلْبًا يَنْقُصْ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ، إِلاَّ كَلْبَ حَرْثٍ أَوْ كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ ".
Translation
Musa ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us: Hammam narrated to us, from Yahya, who said: Abu Salama narrated to me that Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) told him: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever keeps a dog loses one qirat from his deeds every day, except a dog for farming or livestock.’
Translation notes
Kept qirat as a transliterated unit of reward, matching the Arabic without expanding its measure.
