وَحَدَّثَنَا الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الرِّجَالِ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ ؓ قَالَ:
أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ، فَخَرَجْتُ لَا أَرَى كَلْبًا إِلَّا قَتَلْتُهُ، فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَدُورُ، فَذَهَبْتُ لِقَتْلِهِ فَنَادَانِي إِنْسَانٌ مِنْ جَوْفِ بَيْتٍ، مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ ؟ قُلْتُ: أَقْتُلُ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ، قَالَتْ: إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ بِضَيْعَةٌ، وَهَذَا الْكَلْبُ يَمْنَعُ عَنِّي السَّبُعَ، وَيُؤْذِنُ بِالْخَايِنِ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَأَمَرَنِي بِقَتْلِهِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to kill dogs. I went out and did not see a dog without killing it. Then there was a dog going around, and I went to kill it, but a person from inside a house called out to me: 'What do you want to do?' I said: 'I want to kill this dog.' She said: 'I am a woman in a remote area, and this dog protects me from wild animals and alerts me to intruders.' So I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him, and he commanded me to kill it.
