Keeping Hunting Dogs Permitted

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) commanded that dogs should be killed, but then allowed people to keep hunting dogs.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal that the Messenger of Allah commanded that dogs be killed, then he said: "What do they use dogs for?" Then he permitted them to keep hunting dogs.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلاَبِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا لَهُمْ وَلِلْكِلاَبِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ لَهُمْ فِي كَلْبِ الصَّيْدِ

It also shows us how merciful and compassionate the Prophet was in his rulings, as he was willing to change his opinion when presented with new information or evidence.
