[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "Whoever adopts or in other words, owns a dog that is neither harmful nor a dog used for herding, will have two good deeds deducted from his rewards every day." It was said to him: "What about Abu Hurairah's statement regarding a dog used for farming?" He replied, "There is still another good deed deducted."  

أحمد:٤٤٧٩ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ أَوْ قَالَ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِضَارٍ وَلَا كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ نَقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ وَكَلْبَ حَرْثٍ؟ فَقَالَ أَنَّى
