حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُبَشِّرٍ ، نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ ، نَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُبَشِّرٍ ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، قَالا : نَا هُشَيْمٌ ، نَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَسْتَاسٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، " أَنَّهُ قَضَى فِي كَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ أَرْبَعُونَ دِرْهَمًا ، وَفِي كَلْبِ الْغَنَمِ شَاةٌ ، وَفِي كَلْبِ الزَّرْعِ فِرْقٌ مِنْ طَعَامٍ ، وَفِي كَلْبِ الدَّارِ فِرْقٌ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ، حَقٌّ عَلَى الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ ، وَحَقٌّ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْكَلْبِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مَعَ مَا نَقَصَ مِنَ الأَجْرِ " .
It is narrated about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he gave the ruling of forty dirhams for a hunting dog. For a shepherd dog, he ruled the payment of one goat; for a field-guarding dog, the ruling was a measure (large vessel) of grain; and for a house-guarding dog, the ruling was a large clay vessel. This will be obligatory upon the person who kills a dog; he must pay this compensation. However, it is obligatory for the owner of the dog to make some reduction in this compensation when receiving it.
