It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah that once, in the morning, the Prophet (peace be upon him) felt heaviness in his health, so someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter that you are feeling unwell this morning?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "Jibreel (peace be upon him) had promised to meet me, but he did not come, although he has never broken a promise before." For three nights, Jibreel did not come. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) considered a puppy under our bed to be the cause. Accordingly, on the order of the Prophet (peace be upon him), it was removed and water was poured there. Shortly after, Jibreel (peace be upon him) came. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him, "You had promised to come to me, but I did not see you?" He replied, "We do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture." So the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs that very day, to the extent that if someone asked for permission to keep a small dog for the protection of his garden, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would also order it to be killed.
