حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا إِلاَّ كَلْبَ مَاشِيَةٍ أَوْ ضَارِي نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطَانِ»

মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু আবূ বাকর আল মুকুদ্দামী (রহঃ) ..... ইয়া'লা ইবনু উমাইয়্যাহ (রহঃ) বলেন- আমি উমর ইবনুল খাত্ত্বাবকে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম। এ পর্যন্ত বর্ণনা করার পর তিনি আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু ইদরীস বর্ণিত হাদীসের অনুরূপ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ১৪৪৪, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

یحییٰ نے ابن جریج سے سابقہ سند کے ساتھ حضرت یعلیٰ بن امیہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی ، کہا! میں نے حضرت عمر بن خطاب رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے عرض کی ۔ ۔ ۔ ( بقیہ روایت ) ابن ادریس کی حدیث کی طرح ہے ۔

{….} Bize Muhammed b. Ebî Bekr El - Mukaddemi rivayet etti. (Dediki) : Bize Yahya, İbni Cüreyc'den naklen rivayet etti. Demiş ki: Bana Abdurrahmân b. Abdillâh b. Ebî Ammâr, Abdullah b. Bâbeyh'den, o da Ya'lâ b. Ümeyye'den naklen rivayet etti. Ya'lâ: «Ömeru'bnu'l-Hattâb'a dedim ki...» diyerek İbni İdrîs hadîsi gibi rivayette bulunmuş

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned against keeping dogs except for the purposes of hunting or guarding livestock and crops. Whoever keeps a dog for other reasons will have two Qirāts, which is a specific measure known to Allah Almighty, deducted from the reward of his deeds each day.

What it teaches

  • It is not permissible for a Muslim to keep a dog except in the cases that have been excluded.
  • Keeping dogs is prohibited due to the numerous harm and evil consequences associated with it. It is authentically reported from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that angels do not enter a house that contains a dog. Additionally, dogs carry an intense impurity that can only be removed by repeated washing with water and dust.
