It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that Jibril (peace be upon him) came and asked permission of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (to enter the house). He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him permission, but Jibril (peace be upon him) was slow (to come in). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took his cloak and went towards him, while Jibril (peace be upon him) was standing at the door. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We have (indeed) given permission." Jibril (peace be upon him) said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, but we do not enter a house in which there is an image or a dog." Then the Companions looked and found a puppy in one of their houses. Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When morning came, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me not to leave any dog in Madinah without killing it." Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "Then I saw a woman of a remote area who had a dog barking in her defence, and it was as if I felt pity for her, so I left it, and I came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to kill it (as well). So I went back and killed that dog." Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "(After this incident) the people asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is lawful for us from this nation (that is, this species of dogs) which you have ordered to be killed?' Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, revealed this verse: (And those hunting animals you have trained as hounds) [Surah al-Ma'idah: 4]."
Abu Ya'la narrated this hadith from Abu Bakr in full.
Al-Muqaddami said: Zayd bin al-Hubab narrated to us; he said: Musa bin Ubaydah narrated it to us in full, and added in it: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man sends out his (hunting) dog (to hunt) and mentions the name of Allah, let him eat that (game), as long as the dog has not eaten from it itself."
