"Were it not that dogs form one of the communities (or nations - of creatures), I would have commanded that they be killed. But kill those that are all black. Any people who keep a dog, except for dogs used for farming, hunting or herding livestock, one Qirat will be deducted from their reward each day."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ الْكِلاَبَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأُمَمِ لأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا الأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ وَأَيُّمَا قَوْمٍ اتَّخَذُوا كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِكَلْبِ حَرْثٍ أَوْ صَيْدٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ  

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If it were not that dogs were part of a nation among the nations, then I would order to that all of them be killed. So kill every one of them that is all black."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ الْكِلاَبَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأُمَمِ لأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا كُلِّهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَجَابِرٍ وَأَبِي رَافِعٍ وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ  

“Were it not that dogs form one of the communities (or nations – of creatures), I would have commanded that they be killed. But kill those that are all black. There are no people who keep a dog, except for dogs used for herding livestock, hunting or farming, but two Qirat will be deducted from their reward each day.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ الْكِلاَبَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأُمَمِ لأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا الأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ وَمَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ اتَّخَذُوا كَلْبًا إِلاَّ كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ أَوْ كَلْبَ صَيْدٍ أَوْ كَلْبَ حَرْثٍ إِلاَّ نَقَصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2845)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2845)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا وَلَكِنْ اقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2845)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا كُلِّهَا وَلَكِنِ اقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ» قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ «الْبَهِيمُ الْأَسْوَدُ كُلُّهُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If it were not that dogs are a community among the communities, I would have ordered their killing. But kill the jet black dog, as it is a devil."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا وَلَكِنِ اقْتُلُوا الْكَلْبَ الْأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "If it were not for the fact that dogs are a community among the communities, I would have ordered the killing of every black creature. So kill the jet-black ones among the dogs, for they are devils among the jinn."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِ كُلِّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ فَاقْتُلُوا الْمعينةَ مِنَ الْكِلَابِ فَإِنَّهَا الْمَلْعُونَةُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ»  

"Were it not that dogs form one of the communities (or nations - of creatures), I would have commanded that they be killed. But kill those that are all black. Any people who keep a dog, except for dogs used for farming, hunting or herding livestock, one Qirat will be deducted from their reward each day." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4280)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا الْأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ وَأَيُّمَا قَوْمٍ اتَّخَذُوا كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِكَلْبِ حَرْثٍ أَوْ صَيْدٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِهِمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ»  

"لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأُمَمِ لأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا".  

"لَوْلا أَنَّ الْكِلابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأُمَمِ لأمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِ كُلِّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ فَاقْتُلُوا الْمَعِينَة (*) مِنَ الْكِلابِ، فَإِنَّهَا الْمَلْعُونَةُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ".  

"لَوْلا أَنَّ الكلابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأمَم أَكْرَه أَنْ أُفْنِيَهَا، لأمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِها، ولَكِن اقْتُلوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بِهِيم، ذِي عَينَينِ بَيضَاوَين".  

"لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأُمَمِ لأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا كُلِّهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا الأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ".
