Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Salim narrates from his father that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever keeps a dog other than a hunting dog, or a dog for herding animals, then two qirats will be deducted from his reward every day.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Dinar narrates that I went with Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) towards Bani Muawiyah. Then dogs started barking at us. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever keeps a dog other than a hunting dog or a dog for guarding livestock, then two qirats will be deducted from that person's reward every day.

Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever keeps a dog which is not necessary for farming, hunting, or livestock, then a qirat will be deducted from his reward every day.

The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever keeps a dog and does not use it for farming or for guarding livestock, then a qirat is deducted from his deeds every day. The narrator was asked: Did you yourself hear this statement from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? He replied: Yes, by the Lord of this mosque.

Hazrat Abdullah says: Whoever keeps a dog for any purpose other than guarding crops or livestock, one qirat from his deeds is reduced every day.
