أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَتْلِ الْکِلَابِ قَالَ مَا بَالُهُمْ وَبَالُ الْکِلَابِ قَالَ وَرَخَّصَ فِي کَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ وَکَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ وَقَالَ إِذَا وَلَغَ الْکَلْبُ فِي الْإِنَائِ فَاغْسِلُوهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَعَفِّرُوا الثَّامِنَةَ بِالتُّرَابِ خَالَفَهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ إِحْدَاهُنَّ بِالتُّرَابِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 340
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم commanded that dogs be killed. He said: ‘What do they have to do with dogs?’ And he granted a concession regarding hunting dogs and sheepdogs. And he said: ‘If a dog licks a vessel, wash it seven times, and rub it the eighth time with dust.’ Abu Hurairah differed from him and said: ‘Rub it one time with dust.” (Sahih)
