[Machine] Uthman fell in love with a man who killed a dog worth twenty camels. Al-Shafi'i said to him, "What if this was established about Uthman? You would not argue about something that was established by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , while what is established about Uthman contradicts it." He said, "Then mention it." I said, "Al-Thiqa informed us from Yunus from Al-Hasan who said, 'I heard Uthman ibn Affan giving a sermon and ordering the killing of dogs.'" Al-Shafi'i said, "So how can he order the killing of what its worth is paid for by its killer?" The sheikh said, "This is what was narrated from Uthman about the inclusion of the dog, and it was narrated from other sources, including Yahya ibn Said Al-Ansari, who mentioned it about Uthman in a case that was mentioned discontinuously, and it was narrated from Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-As."  

أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ ؓ أَغْرَمَ رَجُلًا ثَمَنَ كَلْبٍ قَتَلَهُ عِشْرِينَ بَعِيرًا قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ ثَبَتَ هَذَا عَنْ عُثْمَانَ كُنْتَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ شَيْئًا فِي احْتِجَاجِكَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ثَبَتَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالثَّابِتُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ خِلَافُهُ قَالَ فَاذْكُرْهُ قُلْتُ أَخْبَرَنَا الثِّقَةُ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَكَيْفَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ مَا يُغْرَمُ مَنْ قَتَلَهُ قِيمَتَهُ؟ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ هَذَا الَّذِي رُوِيَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ ؓ فِي تَضْمِينِ الْكَلْبِ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ أُخَرَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ فِي قَضِيَّةٍ ذَكَرَهَا مُنْقَطِعَةً وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ
