Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنْ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوا مِنْهَا كُلَّ أَسْوَدَ بَهِيمٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مِمَّنْ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا قَالَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِيهِ وَحَلَفَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُغَفَّلٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, from Abu Sufyan ibn al-Ala', who said: I heard al-Hasan narrate that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Were it not that dogs are a community among the communities, I would have ordered them killed; so kill among them every pure black one." He said: So a man said to him: "O Abu Sa'id, from whom did you hear this?" He said: He told me it, and Abdullah ibn Mughaffal swore, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, since such-and-such a time, and he had told us in that very gathering.
