Sunan Ibn Majah 3201 (Book 28, Hadith 2) #32555
Keeping Guard and Farming Dogs

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad commanded that dogs be killed, but then allowed people to keep farming and guard 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 farming dogs and dogs of 'Ein. Bundar said: "The 'Ein refers to the walls of Al-Madinah".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُطَرِّفًا، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلاَبِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا لَهُمْ وَلِلْكِلاَبِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ لَهُمْ فِي كَلْبِ الزَّرْعِ وَكَلْبِ الْعِينِ ‏.‏ قَالَ بُنْدَارٌ الْعِينُ حِيطَانُ الْمَدِينَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad commanded that all dogs should be killed, as they were considered a nuisance in the society. However, he later allowed people to keep two types of dogs; farming and guard dogs. Farming dogs were used for herding livestock while guard dogs were used to protect the walls of Madinah from intruders. This hadith teaches us that it is important to think before we act and consider the consequences of our decisions. We should also take into account any potential benefits or harms that may come from our actions before making them. Furthermore, this hadith shows us how important it is to use animals responsibly for beneficial purposes rather than causing harm or destruction with them.
