66. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'If a dog licks the vessel of any one of you, let him throw (the contents) away and wash it seven times.'" Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān (An-Nasā'ī) said: I do not know any one who followed 'Alī bin Muṣhir in narrating it with: "Let him throw it away." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

66 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ وَأَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا وَلَغَ الْكَلْبُ فِي إِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ، فَلْيُرِقْهُ، ثُمَّ لِيَغْسِلْهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا تَابَعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُسْهِرٍ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ: فَلْيُرِقْهُ

Commentary

Imām An-Nasā'ī considers the phrase "its contents should be thrown away" to be Shaadh - in Hadīth terminology, this means that the wording of a Hadīth is reported by only one narrator; his other companions and contemporaries do not narrate it. This arouses suspicion that the narrator probably committed an error. That being said, syntactically the wording stands to reason.
