Sahih al-Bukhari 3325
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ خُصَيْفَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي السَّائِبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، سَمِعَ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ الشَّنَئِيَّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لاَ يُغْنِي عَنْهُ زَرْعًا وَلاَ ضَرْعًا، نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ ". فَقَالَ السَّائِبُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِيْ وَرَبِّ هَذِهِ الْقِبْلَةِ.
ʿAbd Allah ibn Maslama narrated to us: Sulayman narrated to us: Yazid ibn Khusayfa informed me: al-Saʾib ibn Yazid informed me: I heard Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr al-Shanaʾi say that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Whoever keeps a dog that is of no use for crops or livestock will lose one qirat from his deeds every day.’ Al-Saʾib said, ‘Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ He replied, ‘Yes, by the Lord of this qibla!’
