     مَنِ ٱقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِكَلْبِ صَيْدٍ وَلَا مَاشِيَةٍ وَلَا أَرْضٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ قِيرَاطَانِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ.

     mani qtanā kalban laysa bikalbi ṣaydin walā māšiyatin walā ʔarḍin faʔinnahū yanquṣu min ʔajrihī qīrāṭāni kulla yawmin.

     He who kept a dog which is neither meant for hunting nor for watching the animals nor for watching the fields would lose two qirat every day out of his reward.
