English translation
4157. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "Maimūnah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, told me that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Jibrā'il, peace be upon him, promised me that he would meet me last night, but he did not meet me." Then he thought that it was because of a puppy that was beneath a bed of ours, and he ordered that it be taken out. Then he took a handful of water and sprinkled it on the place where it had been. When Jibril, peace be upon him, met him he said: "We (angels) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image." The next morning the Prophet ﷺ ordered that all dogs be killed, even those that guarded small gardens, but he left those that guarded large gardens. (Saḥih)
