حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ، أَنَّ السَّائِبَ، بْنَ يَزِيدَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ، - وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ شَنُوءَةَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لاَ يُغْنِي عَنْهُ زَرْعًا وَلاَ ضَرْعًا نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِي وَرَبِّ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ ‏.‏

Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: I recited to Malik, from Yazid ibn Khusayfah, that al-Saib ibn Yazid informed him that he heard Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr—a man from the Shanuah tribe and one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)—say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever keeps a dog that is of no benefit for crops or livestock loses one qirat from his deeds every day. Al-Saib asked: Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes, by the Lord of this mosque.
