363. It was narrated that Abu Razin said: 'I saw Abu Hurairah hitting his forehead with his hand and saying: "O people of Iraq! Do you claim that I would tell a lie against the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ so that it may be more convenient for you and a sin upon me?" I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'If a dog licks the vessel of anyone of you, let him wash it seven times.''" (Da'if)
363 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَضْرِبُ جَبْهَتَهُ، بِيَدِهِ، وَيَقُولُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ أَنْتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنِّي أَكْذِبُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لِيَكُونَ، لَكُمُ الْمَهْنَأُ، وَعَلَيَّ الْإِثْمُ، أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِذَا وَلَغَ الْكَلْبُ فِي إِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ، فَلْيَغْسِلْهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ»

a. If a dog licks a vessel, it must be washed seven times. b. In addition, along with washing, it is also necessary to rub the vessel in question with dust. c. The dog saliva contains rabies that cannot be cleaned by just one wash. As for dust, it contains germ-killing properties. That is why the sacred law of Islam has, of all the animals, particularised this method of cleaning only for the licking of dogs.
