أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْکِلَابِ وَرَخَّصَ فِي کَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ وَالْغَنَمِ وَقَالَ إِذَا وَلَغَ الْکَلْبُ فِي الْإِنَائِ فَاغْسِلُوهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَعَفِّرُوهُ الثَّامِنَةَ بِالتُّرَابِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 339
It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم commanded that dogs be killed, but he made an exception for hunting dogs and sheepdogs and said: “If a dog licks a vessel then wash it seven times and rub it the eighth time with dust.” (Sahih)
