Abu Sufyan bin Abu Zuhair, a man from Azd Shanu'a and one of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'If one keeps a dog which is meant for guarding neither a farm nor
cattle, one Qirat of the reward of his good deeds is deducted daily." I said, "Did you hear this from
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said, "Yes, by the Lord of this Mosque."
