Hadith 1301
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ قَالَ: كَانَ عُثْمَانُ لاَ يَخْطُبُ جُمُعَةً إِلاَّ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلاَبِ، وَذَبْحِ الْحَمَامِ. ¤ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ يَأْمُرُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلابِ، وَذَبْحِ الْحَمَامِ.
