حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِضَارٍ وَلاَ كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ نَقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَسُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " أَوْ كَلْبَ زَرْعٍ " .

Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: Whoever keeps a dog that is not used for hunting or guarding livestock will have two qirats deducted from his reward each day. Reports on this topic are also narrated from Abdullah ibn Mughaffal, Abu Hurayrah, and Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ibn Umar is hasan sahih. It is also reported from the Prophet that he said: or a dog for guarding crops.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic first mentions a hunting dog and a livestock dog; an additional report mentions a dog for crops. Qirat is retained as a unit of reward.
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِضَارٍ وَلاَ كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ نَقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ " .
The Arabic differentiates a hunting dog and a livestock dog; another version adds a dog used for crops.
Should the categories be rendered as hunting, livestock, and crop-guarding dogs throughout?
