اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو التَّيَّاحِ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ ، " أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا لَهُمْ وَلَهَا ، فَرَخَّصَ فِي كَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ ، وَفِي كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ ، وَقَالَ : إِذَا وَلَغَ الْكَلْبُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ، فَاغْسِلُوهُ سَبْعَ مِرَارٍ ، وَالثَّامِنَةُ عَفِّرُوهُ بِالتُّرَابِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَكَذَا قَالَ ابْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ .
Narrated Ibn Mughaffal: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ ordered the killing of the dogs, and then said: Why are they (people) after them (dogs)? and then granted permission (to keep) for hunting and for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Mughaffal narrated in a similar way.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ If a dog puts its mouth into a vessel, whatever is in it (in the form of food or drink) should be thrown away, and the vessel should be washed seven or eight times, and it is necessary to scrub it once with earth.
➋ Some students of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu omitted the mention of scrubbing with earth, but this does not necessitate that it is not present in the original narration. It is possible that they acted with brevity. Meanwhile, Muhammad ibn Sirin, Abu Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani, Hasan al-Basri, and Abu Rafi‘ rahimahullah have mentioned scrubbing with earth. And “the addition of a trustworthy narrator is accepted...” According to this principle, the narration of Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mughaffal regarding the eighth time is acceptable.
➌ Modern research supports that only earth is truly effective in killing the dog’s germs.
➍ Whether the dog is a hunting dog or not, its saliva is impure (najis). There appears to be a specific exception in the matter of hunting.
➎ The general command to kill dogs has been abrogated so that their species is not completely destroyed.
➏ Keeping a dog for hunting and protection is permissible.
