Sahih Muslim 1570a — Command About Dogs

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1570a

This Hadith says that Ibn 'Umar reported Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم giving a command for killing dogs. The wording provided here is brief and should be explained carefully. It does not mention exceptions, timing, or later details in this specific translation. So the core topic is the reported command about dogs, not a full discussion of all dog rulings. People search this as “Hadith about killing dogs” or “Prophet ordered killing dogs hadith.” The safe way to understand this entry is to read it with its own words and avoid adding details not present in the text. According to other narrations in the same chapter, later reports mention exceptions and changes, but this Hadith itself states the command simply.
