(قلت: إسناده صحيح على شرط الشيخين. وقد أخرجه مسلم. وصححه الترمذي. والبخاري؛ وليس عنده: "أو صيد" إلا في رواية معلقة من طريق أخرى عن أبي هريرة، ورواه مسلم من حديث ابن عمر أيضًا، وأصله متفق عليه)

2844. It was reported from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "Anyone who acquires a dog except for a dog for (herding) cattle, or hunting or farming (as a guard dog), his reward will be diminished every day by one Qirāt." (Saḥīḥ)
2844 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنِ اتَّخَذَ كَلْبًا إِلَّا كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ أَوْ صَيْدٍ أَوْ زَرْعٍ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ»

Keeping a dog for purposes other than those mentioned in the Hadīth is a sin, and a losing bargain, since the equivalent of one Qirāt is deducted from his reward every day, and only Allāh knows the exact weight of the reward of the person concerned. See no. 3168, and the glossary.
