حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏"‏ مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا فَإِنَّهُ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ إِلاَّ كَلْبَ حَرْثٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

It wasnarrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal that the Messenger ofAllah(ﷺ) said

“Were it not that dogs form one of the communities(ornations – of creatures), I would have commanded that they bekilled. But kill those that are all black. There are no people whokeep a dog, except for dogs used for herding livestock, hunting orfarming, but two Qirat will be deducted from their reward each day.”
