English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: 'Were it not that dogs are a community among communities, I would have ordered the killing of every pure black one. Kill the ones that bite (or are harmful) from among dogs, for they are the accursed ones among the jinn.'
