حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ اتَّخَذَ أَوْ قَالَ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِضَارٍ وَلَا كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ نَقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ وَكَلْبَ حَرْثٍ فَقَالَ أَنَّى لِأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَرْثٌ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4479
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet (PBUH) that he said: "Whoever keeps a dog that is not trained for hunting and is not a dog for herding livestock, two qiraats will be detracted from his reward each day." It was Said to him: But Abu Hurayrah says: And is not a dog for farming. He said: How could Abu Hurayrah have farmland?
