English translation
1489. ‘Abdullāh bin Mughaffal narrated: “I was one of those who held up the branches from the tree away from the face of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while he was delivering the Khutbah saying: ‘If it were not that dogs were a nation among nations, then I would order that they be killed. So kill every one among them that is all black. There is no one inhabiting a home in which they keep a dog but their deeds are decreased by one Qirāt every day – except for a hunting dog, or a farm dog, or a sheep dog.” (Sahih) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan. This Hadith has been reported through other routes from Al-Hasan from ‘Abdullāh bin Mughaffal, from the Prophet ﷺ.
