It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are five animals whose killing carries no sin: the crow, the mouse, the kite, the scorpion, and the black dog (the biting dog)."

Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the killing of five harmful animals in both the sacred and non-sacred areas: the kite, the crow, the mouse, the scorpion, and the black or biting dog. Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Some narrators said «الكلب العقور» and some said «الكلب الاسود» .

Salim narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and Urwah narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), in the same manner, as a marfu’ (attributed to the Prophet) narration.
