حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِثْلِهِ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1575d
This narration is very brief. The translation says that a hadith like this was transmitted on the authority of Abu Huraira. Because the provided text does not repeat the full wording, the best explanation is to connect it carefully to the previous report in the batch. That earlier report warned that keeping a dog brings a daily reduction from deeds, except when it is kept for the named needs such as field or herd watching in that wording. The value of this short report is that it supports the same teaching through another transmission. It reminds readers that even a brief hadith entry can carry weight when it is linked to a clear report before it.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report supports the previous wording from Abu Huraira.
- The short text should not be expanded beyond the linked narration.
- The main warning remains about dog keeping and loss from deeds.
- Brief supporting narrations still help preserve the hadith wording.
