Hazrat Ma'ruf, may Allah have mercy on him, says that we went out with our dogs and met Hazrat Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both. He said: When you send your dogs, say Bismillah and say: O Allah, guide their hearts to the right path.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abi Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when my father used to send his dogs for hunting, he would make this supplication: O Allah! Guide their hearts to the straight path.
