حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ أَمَرَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَتْلِ الْکِلَابِ حَتَّی إِنْ کَانَتْ الْمَرْأَةُ تَقْدَمُ مِنْ الْبَادِيَةِ يَعْنِي بِالْکَلْبِ فَنَقْتُلُهُ ثُمَّ نَهَانَا عَنْ قَتْلِهَا وَقَالَ عَلَيْکُمْ بِالْأَسْوَدِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2846
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet of Allah ﷺ ordered to kill dogs, and we were even killing a dog which a woman brought with her from the desert. Afterwards he forbade to kill them, saying: Confine yourselves to the type which is black.
