Chapter: Regarding killing snakes.
Hadith 5252
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ , حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ , عَنْ سَالِمٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ , وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ , وَالْأَبْتَرَ , فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ , وَيُسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ " , قَالَ : وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَقْتُلُ كُلَّ حَيَّةٍ وَجَدَهَا , فَأَبْصَرَهُ أَبُو لبابةَ أَوْ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ يُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً , فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ قَدْ نُهِيَ عَنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ .
Ibn Umar reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Kill snakes, kill those which have two streaks and those with small tails, for they obliterate the eyesight and cause miscarriage. Salim said: Abdullah (bin Umar) used to kill every snake which he found. Abu Lubabah or Zaid bin al-Khattab saw him chasing a snake. He said: He (the Prophet) prohibited house-snakes.
