حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا إِلَّا كَلْبَ صَيْدٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ نَقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4549
It was narrated from Saalim, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog for hunting or herding livestock, two qiraats will be deducted from his reward every day."
