ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا أَرَادَ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ زَجْرَهُ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ

ibnhibban:5656Abū Khalīfah > Muḥammad b. Sallām al-Jumaḥī > Saʿīd b. ʿUbayd

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If it were not that dogs form a community of nations, I would have commanded to kill them." Abdullah bin Al-Mughaffal said, "By Allah, the One who there is no god but Him, he informed me about this in this mosque and gestured towards the central mosque."  

ابن حبّان:٥٦٥٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ الْجُمَحِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ كُنَّا فِي جَنَازَةِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ وَمَعَنَا شُعْبَةُ فَلَمَّا دُفِنَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي هَذَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى قَبْرِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلْحَسَنِ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا» فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُغَفَّلِ وَاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ وَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الْجَامِعِ
