ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، نا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، نا عِيسَى بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِي دَارَ قَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَدُونَهُمْ دَارٌ فَيَشُقُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي دَارَ فُلانٍ وَلا تَأْتِي دَارَنَا ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لأَنَّ فِي دَارِكُمْ كَلْبًا " . قَالُوا : فَإِنَّ فِي دَارِهِمْ سِنَّوْرًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " السِّنَّوْرُ سَبْعٌ " . تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عِيسَى بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، وَهُوَ صَالِحُ الْحَدِيثِ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the house of some Ansar, but did not go to the houses that were before theirs. This was displeasing to those people, so they said: "O Messenger of Allah! You went to so-and-so's house but did not come to our house?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The reason is: there is a dog in your house." They said: "There is a cat in their house." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The cat is included among the beasts." In narrating this report, the narrator named Isa bin Musayyib is unique, and he is reliable in transmitting hadith.
