Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a dog drinks from the vessel of any of you, let him wash it seven times." A narration by Muslim adds: "The first of which should be with dust." ‘Abdullāh ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: ''When a dog laps a vessel, wash it seven times, and rub it with dust in the eighth time.”
