Musnad Ahmad 16788

Translation

✧ Were it not that dogs are a community among the communities, I would command killing them. So kill the pitch-black one among them. And any people who keep a dog that is not a dog for tilling, hunting, or livestock, their rewards are decreased every day by a qirat.
