The Prophet ﷺ said: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ الْكِلاَبَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الأُمَمِ لأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا الأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ

The Prophet ﷺ said: Were dogs not a species of creature I should command that they all be killed; but kill every pure black one. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2845)  

أحمد:٢٠٥٤٧حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ

أحمد:٢٠٥٦٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا وَلَكِنْ اقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ  

ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَمَرَ ﷺ بِقَتْلِ الْأَسْوَدِ الْبَهِيمِ مِنَ الْكِلَابِ

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "If it were not that dogs are a community among the communities, I would have ordered their killing. But kill the jet black dog, as it is a devil."  

ابن حبّان:٥٦٥٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَرُوبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبِ بْنِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا وَلَكِنِ اقْتُلُوا الْكَلْبَ الْأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ»
