Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَعْيَنِ الْعَبْديِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ الْجُشَمِيِّ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، يَخْطُبُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، إِذْ مَرَّ بِحَيَّةٍ تَمْشِي عَلَى الْجِدَارِ، فَقَطَعَ خُطْبَتَهُ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَهَا بِقَضِيبِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ حَيَّةً فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مُشْرِكًا قَدْ حَلَّ دَمُهُ " (١)،
