حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ (١) : " اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّةَ، وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ، وَالْأَبْتَرَ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِعَانِ الْبَصَرَ، وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ " قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ لَا أَرَى حَيَّةً، إِلَّا قَتَلْتُهَا حَتَّى قَالَ لِي: أَبُو لُبَابَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ، أَلَا تَفْتَحُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ خَوْخَةٌ، فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ أَنَا، وَهُوَ فَفَتَحْنَاهَا، فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ، فَعَدَوْتُ عَلَيْهَا لِأَقْتُلَهَا، فَقَالَ لِي: مَهْلًا، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِنَّ، قَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَدْ " نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ibn Umar that I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: "Kill every snake, especially the striped snake and the snake with a cut tail, because both of these cause miscarriage and loss of eyesight." Therefore, whenever I saw a snake, I would kill it. One day, Abu Lubabah or Yazid bin Khattab saw me chasing a snake to kill it, and I told them that the Prophet (ﷺ) had ordered their killing. So they said: "Afterwards, the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade killing the snakes that live in houses."
