بَابُ الرُّحْصَةِ فِي عَدْمٍ قَتْلِ الْكِلابِ إِلَّا الْأَسْوَدَ البهيمChapter: Concession in not killing dogs except the pure black one
Hadith 6517
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ الْبَهِيمُ شَيْطَانٌ
Narrated by Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The black dog is a devil.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The purpose of referring to the black dog as "Shaytan" is that its harm is greater than that of other dogs; metaphorically, it has been called "Shaytan." In the speech of the Arabs as well, every rebellious one is called "Shaytan." Just as an evil and mischievous person is called "Shaytan," similarly, a frightening and harmful dog is also called "Shaytan." "Shaytan" is not a personal name; rather, it is a characteristic—whoever possesses it will be called "Shaytan."
