Was it right for Mohammad to kill dogs?

Question

"One morning Allah's Messenger was silent with grief. Maymunah said: Allah's Messenger, I find a change in your mood today. Allah's Messenger said: Gabriel had promised me that he would meet me last night, but he did not meet me. By Allah, he never broke his promises; and Allah's Messenger spent the day in this sad (mood). Then it occurred to him that there had been a puppy under their cot. He gave an order and it was turned out. He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it on the place. When it was evening Gabriel met him and he said to him: You promised me that you would meet me the previous night. He said: Yes, but we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. So the very next morning he commanded the dogs to be killed. He announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog used for the protection of extensive fields (or big gardens)." -- Hadith - Muslim, Narrated Maymunah

Answer 1

And they say their religion is the truth, what a sick false religion. The blind leading the blind!

Answer 2

'A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well he descended into it, drank his fill and came up. Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The man saw that the dog was feeling the same thirst as he had felt so he went down into the well again and filled his shoe with water and gave the dog a drink. God forgave his sins for this action.' The Prophet was asked: 'Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?' He said, 'There is a reward for kindness to every living thing.'

There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you.


Surah 6 Verse 38

The implicit message of this verse is that in Islam, the concept of mercy covers humans as well as animals, for Islam accords animals inviolable rights, part of which is to be fed well and not to be subject to torture or ill-treatment. Hence, I recall here the hadith in which the Prophet (pbuh), stated that a woman was doomed to enter Hell because of a cat...

‘which she neither fed nor let it eat from the vermin of the earth.


KNow about Prophet Mohammed, he is best of mankind. Know about him from right sorce and the best source to know him is through Quran, that is not amended. Or changed like other books of God.

Answer 3

I am a Muslimah and I have been a Muslimah all my life, but I have not heard or read what you have quoted.
You should try reading authentic books on Islam if you really want to know the truth!
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) was the most kind and gentle of all human beings.
