[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it weren't for the fact that dogs are a nation among the nations, I would have ordered for them to be killed. So, kill the black dog, as it diminishes the rewards of its owners each day by a qirat. And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Pray in the dwellings of sheep and do not pray in the blessed places of camels. Verily, camels have been created from the devils."
