[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If it were not for the fact that dogs are a community among the nations, I would command their killing. So, kill any black dog." A man asked him: "O Abu Sa'id, who did you hear this from?" He replied: "I heard it from Abdullah bin Mughaffal, who swore by Allah's name about it, from the Prophet ﷺ, since that time, and he informed us in that gathering."  

أحمد:٢٠٥٤٨حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يُحَدِّثُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِيهِ وَحَلَفَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ
