[Machine] "Narrated by Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , she said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up feeling unwell one morning. So, it was said to him, 'What is wrong with you, O Messenger of Allah? You woke up feeling unwell?' He replied, 'Gabriel promised to meet me, but he did not come, and he has never broken his promise to me. He did not come to me that night, nor the second night, nor the third night.' Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ blamed a female dog that was under our niche and he commanded it to be removed. He then took some water and washed the place where it had been. Gabriel ﷺ came and said, 'You promised me, yet I did not see you.' The Prophet ﷺ replied, 'We do not enter a house that has a dog or a picture.' On that day, he commanded the killing of dogs, even seeking permission to kill a small dog that was by the wall.'"

Messenger of Allah, I find a change in your mood today. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Gabriel had promised me that he would meet me tonight, but he did not meet me. By Allah, he never broke his promises, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent the day in this sad (mood). Then it occurred to him that there had been a puppy under their cot. He commanded and it was turned out. He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it at that place. When it was evening Gabriel met him and he said to him: you promised me that you would meet me the previous night. He said: Yes, but we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. Then on that very morning he commanded the killing of the dogs until he announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog meant for the protection of extensive fields (or big gardens).

Maimunah, wife of the Prophet ﷺ reported him as saying: Gabriel (peace be upon him) promised to visit me last night, but he did not visit me. Then it occurred to him that there was a pup under his bed. So he ordered and it was turned out. He then got water in his hand and sprinkled it on its place. When Gabriel ﷺ met him, he said: We do not enter a house which contains a dog or a picture. When the morning came, the Prophet ﷺ ordered to kill dogs. He ordered to kill the dog which guarded a small orchard, and left the dog which guarded the big orchard.
