CHAPTER: INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE LICKING OF A DOG
No. 546
Abu Huraira reported the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) to have said: When a dog licks a utensil belonging to any one of you, (the thing contained in it) should be thrown away and then (the utensil) should be washed seven times.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: When a dog drinks out of a vessel belonging to any one of you, he must wash it seven times.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The purification of the utensil belonging to any one of you, after it is licked by a dog, lies in washing it seven times, using sand for the first time.
Hammam b. Munabbih reported: Of the a hadith narrated by Abu Huraira from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), one is this: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The purification of the utensil belonging to one amongst you, after it is licked by a dog, lies in washing it seven times.
Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.
A hadith like this has been narrated from Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters except for the fact that in the hadith transmitted by Yahya those words are:" He (the 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.
