Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ - عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلاَبِ وَرَخَّصَ فِي كَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا وَلَغَ الْكَلْبُ فِي الإِنَاءِ فَاغْسِلُوهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَعَفِّرُوهُ الثَّامِنَةَ بِالتُّرَابِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-A'la informed us: Khalid—that is, Ibn al-Harith—narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from Abu al-Tayyah, who said: I heard Mutarrif, from 'Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded that dogs be killed, but granted an exemption for hunting dogs and sheepdogs. He said: 'If a dog laps from a vessel, wash it seven times and rub it with earth the eighth time.'

Translation notes
  • The full chain is present in Arabic but omitted by the English witness. The source states an exemption for hunting dogs and sheepdogs, and specifies seven washes followed by rubbing with earth on the eighth.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى،

    The English witness omits the chain of transmission included in Arabic.
