Sahih Muslim Book - 37, Hadith - 5513

حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ السَّبَّاقِ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَتْنِي مَيْمُونَةُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَصْبَحَ يَوْمًا وَاجِمًا ، فَقَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَقَدِ اسْتَنْكَرْتُ هَيْئَتَكَ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يَلْقَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ فَلَمْ يَلْقَنِي ، أَمَ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَخْلَفَنِي ، قَالَ : فَظَلَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِهِ جِرْوُ كَلْبٍ تَحْتَ فُسْطَاطٍ لَنَا ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ مَاءً فَنَضَحَ مَكَانَهُ ، فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى لَقِيَهُ جِبْرِيلُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : قَدْ كُنْتَ وَعَدْتَنِي أَنْ تَلْقَانِي الْبَارِحَةَ ، قَالَ : أَجَلْ ، وَلَكِنَّا لاَ نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةٌ ، فَأَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلاَبِ ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ كَلْبِ الْحَائِطِ الصَّغِيرِ ، وَيَتْرُكُ كَلْبَ الْحَائِطِ الْكَبِيرِ.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said: "Maimunah told me that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) got up one morning looking subdued and Maimunah said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I see a change in your mood today.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Jibril promised me that he would meet me last night, but he did not meet me. But, by Allah, he would not break his promise to me.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) spent that day like that, then it occurred to him that there was a puppy beneath a bed of ours. He ordered that it be taken out, then he took some water in his hand and sprinkled it in the place where it had been. When evening came, Jibril' met him, and he said to him: 'You promised that you would meet me yesterday.' He said: 'Yes, but we do not enter any house in which there is a dog or an image.' The next morning, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ordered that all dogs be killed, and he even ordered that dogs kept for (guarding) small gardens be killed, but he left the dogs kept for (guarding) large gardens.''
