Ubaidullah bin Abu Bakr (RA) said: I heard Anas bin Malik (RA) saying: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) talked about the major sins, or he was asked about the major sins. Upon this he observed: Associating anyone with Allah, killing of a person, disobedience to parents. He (the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) further) said: Should I not inform you about the gravest of the major sins, and (in this connection) observed: False utterance or false testimony. Shu'bah said. It was most probably" false testimony".

A hadith like this has been narrated from Shu'bah with the same chain of transmitters except for the fact that in the hadith transmitted by Yahya those words are: "He (the Holy Prophet) gave concession in the case of the dog for looking after the herd, for hunting and for watching the cultivated land," and there is no mention of this addition (i. e. concession in case of watching the cultivated lands) except in the hadith transmitted by Yahya.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: When Makkah was conquered, he (the Holy Prophet) distributed the spoils among the Quraish. Upon this the Ansar said: It is strange that our swords are dripping with their blood, whereas our spoils have been given to them (to the Quraish). This (remark) reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , and so he gathered them and said: What is this that has been conveyed to me about you? They said: (Yes) it is that very thing that has reached you- and they were not (the people) to speak lie. Upon this he said: Don't you like that the people should return to their houses along with worldly riches, whereas you should return to your houses with the Messenger of Allah? (ﷺ) If the people were to tread a valley or a narrow path, and the Ansar were also to tread a valley or a narrow path, I would tread the valley along with the Ansar or the narrow path along with the Ansar.

In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Yahya, he (the Holy Prophet) permitted the keeping of dogs for (the protection of) herds, for hunting and (the protection of) cultivated land.

Sha'bi reported: I heard Adi bin Hatim say - and he was our neighbour, and our partner and co worker at Nahrain-that he asked Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) saying: I let off my dog and find another dog along with my dog and that (any one of them) catches the (game), but I do not know which one had caught it, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Then don't eat that, for you recited the name of Allah while letting off your dog and did not recite on the other.

This hadith has been narrated oif the authority of 'Adi bin Hatim through another chain of transmitters.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported that he said: Allah's Messenger, we are going to encounter the enemy tomorrow. and we do not have large knives with us.

He (the Holy Prophet), cammanded and these were turned over and the narrator narrated the whole event.
