2322. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Whoever keeps a dog, one Qirāt (of the reward) of his good deeds is deducted daily, unless the dog is used for guarding a farm or cattle." Abū Hurairah (in another quotation) said: "The Prophet ﷺ said, "... unless it is (used) for (guarding) sheep or farms, or for hunting." Abū Hurairah added: The Prophet ﷺ said, "... unless a dog is kept (for guarding) cattle or for hunting."

2322 - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَمْسَكَ كَلْبًا، فَإِنَّهُ يَنْقُصُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ قِيرَاطٌ، إِلَّا كَلْبَ حَرْثٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ»، قَالَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ، وَأَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِلَّا كَلْبَ غَنَمٍ أَوْ حَرْثٍ أَوْ صَيْدٍ»، وَقَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ: عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَلْبَ صَيْدٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ»
