حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ، وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ، وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ "، وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: يَقْتُلُ كُلَّ حَيَّةٍ، وَجَدَهَا فَرَآهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَوْ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، وَهُوَ يُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً فَقَالَ: " إِنَّهُ قَدْ نُهِيَ عَنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ " (٣)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Kill snakes, especially those with two stripes and those with short tails, for these two cause blindness in humans and miscarriage." Therefore, whenever Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) found a snake, he would kill it. On one occasion, Abu Lubabah (may Allah be pleased with him) or Zayd bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him driving away a snake, so he said that it is forbidden to kill snakes that enter houses.
