[Machine] In his saying, "And the dog Al-Aqur," he said: "It has reached me from Sufyan ibn Uyayna that he said, its meaning is every male dog, without specifying it to the dog." Abu 'Ubayd said: It is permissible to say for the wolf 'dog', do you not see that they mention in the battles that 'Utbah ibn Abi Lahab was harshly harming the Prophet ﷺ , so he said: "O Allah, set upon him a dog from Your dogs." So 'Utbah left to the Levant with his companions and they stayed in a house, and a lion came upon them, so it passed by them towards him and killed him. So here, the name of the dog became attached to it. And from this is His saying, magnified is He, {And you have not been taught of the birds whatever is trained as hunting animals} [Al-Ma'idah: 4]. So this is a derived name from the dog, and then it entered the hunting of the cheetah, falcon, and hawk. So for this reason, for every wild or tame animal from the predators, it is said 'dog al-aqur'. And it has also been narrated that Swayd ibn Ghaflah said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab commanded us to kill snakes, scorpions, mice, and wasps while we are in a state of pilgrimage.
