Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سَائِبَةَ، مَوْلَاةٍ لِلْفَاكِهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ، فَرَأَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا رُمْحًا مَوْضُوعًا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، مَا تَصْنَعِينَ بِهَذَا الرُّمْحِ؟ قَالَتْ: " نَقْتُلُ بِهِ الْأَوْزَاغَ، فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام حِينَ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ، لَمْ تَكُنْ دَابَّةٌ إِلَّا تُطْفِئُ النَّارَ عَنْهُ، غَيْرُ الْوَزَغِ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْفُخُ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَمَرَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاة وَالسَّلَامُ بِقَتْلِهِ " (٢)، ،

Translation

English translation

Saibah, who was the freed slave woman of Fakih bin Mughira, says: Once I went to the service of Aisha and saw a spear placed in her house. I asked her, "O Mother of the Believers! What do you do with this spear?" She replied, "It is kept for these lizards, and I kill them with it, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) narrated this hadith to us: When Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was thrown into the fire, there was no animal on the earth that did not try to extinguish the fire except the lizard, which was blowing on it (to ignite it further). Therefore, the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered us to kill the lizard."
