حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ ابْنِ السَّبَّاقِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي مَيْمُونَةُ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام کَانَ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يَلْقَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ فَلَمْ يَلْقَنِي ثُمَّ وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِهِ جَرْوُ کَلْبٍ تَحْتَ بِسَاطٍ لَنَا فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ مَائً فَنَضَحَ بِهِ مَکَانَهُ فَلَمَّا لَقِيَهُ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ کَلْبٌ وَلَا صُورَةٌ فَأَصْبَحَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْکِلَابِ حَتَّی إِنَّهُ لَيَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ کَلْبِ الْحَائِطِ الصَّغِيرِ وَيَتْرُکُ کَلْبَ الْحَائِطِ الْکَبِيرِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4157
Narrated Ibn Abbas: Maimunah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ reported him as saying: Gabriel ﷺ promised to visit me last night, but he did not visit me. Then it occurred to him that there was a pup under his bed. So he ordered and it was turned out. He then got water in his hand and sprinkled it on its place. When Gabriel ﷺ met him, he said: We do not enter a house which contains a dog or a picture. When the morning came, the Prophet ﷺ ordered to kill dogs. He ordered to kill the dog which guarded a small orchard, and left the dog which guarded the big orchard.
