قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الْحَس
َنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنْ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا الْأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ وَأَيُّمَا قَوْمٍ اتَّخَذُوا كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِكَلْبِ حَرْثٍ أَوْ صَيْدٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ نَقَصُوا مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطًا

English Translation
Ismāʿīl narrated to us, he said: Yūnus informed us, from al-Ḥasan, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Mughaffal, who said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Were it not that dogs are a community among communities, I would have commanded that they be killed. So kill from among them every pure black one. And whatever people keep a dog that is not a dog for farming, hunting, or livestock, they lose a qīrāṭ (a measure) from their rewards every day.'
