حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ
يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ ، أَنَّ
السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ
سُفْيَانَ بْنَ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَزْدِ شَنُوءَةَ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ نَاسًا مَعَهُ عِنْدَ بَاب الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ :
" مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ زَرْعًا وَلَا ضَرْعًا، نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ " . قَالَ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَقَالَ : إِي وَرَبِّ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sufyan bin Zuhair, may Allah be pleased with him, and he was a man from the tribe of Shanū’ah and a companion of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he was relating hadith to the people at the door of the Prophet’s Mosque. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “Whoever keeps a dog, not for the purpose of guarding crops nor for guarding sheep, then every day there will be a decrease and loss in his deeds equal to one qirat.” Sa’ib bin Yazid asked Sayyiduna Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with him: Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? He said: Yes, by the Lord of this mosque.
