حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَمْسَکَ کَلْبًا فَإِنَّهُ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ کُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ إِلَّا کَلْبَ حَرْثٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4032
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: He who kept a dog except one meant for watching the herd, or for hunting or for watching the fields. he lost two qirat of reward every day. Zuhri said: The words of Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) were conveyed to Ibn Umar who said: May Allah have mercy upon Abu Huraira; he owned a field.
