This hadith is about the consequences of keeping a dog. According to the Prophet Muhammad, if someone keeps a dog for any purpose other than guarding livestock or hunting, their good deeds will be reduced by two Qirats per day. A Qirat is an ancient unit of measurement that was used to measure gold and silver coins in Arabia during the time of the Prophet Muhammad.
