أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَرُوبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبِ بْنِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ الْكِلَابَ أُمَّةٌ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ لَأَمَرْتُ بِقَتْلِهَا وَلَكِنِ اقْتُلُوا الْكَلْبَ الْأَسْوَدَ الْبَهِيمَ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ»

Abu 'Aruba informed us, Muhammad ibn Wahb ibn Abi Karima narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Salama narrated to us, from Abu Abd al-Rahim, from Zayd ibn Abi Unaysa, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir who said: I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying: 'Were it not that dogs are a community among communities, I would have ordered their killing. But kill the solid black dog, for it is a devil.'
