حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْبَاطِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي لَمِمَّنْ يَرْفَعُ أَغْصَانَ الشَّجَرَةِ عَنْ وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ،‏‏‏‏ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَمَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَرْتَبِطُونَ كَلْبًا،‏‏‏‏ إِلَّا نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ،‏‏‏‏ إِلَّا كَلْبَ صَيْدٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَوْ كَلْبَ حَرْثٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَوْ كَلْبَ غَنَمٍ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal: I was one of those who held up the branches from the tree away from the face of the Messenger of Allah (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 one inhabiting a home in which they keep a dog but their deeds are decreased by one Qirat every day - except for a hunting dog, or a farm dog, or a sheep dog.'
