Chapter: Regarding killing snakes.
Hadith 5256
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ , حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَحْيَى , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ انْطَلَقَ هُوَ وَصَاحِبٌ لَهُ إِلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ يَعُودَانِهِ , فَخَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ , فَلَقِيَنَا صَاحِبٌ لَنَا وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِ , فَأَقْبَلْنَا نَحْنُ , فَجَلَسْنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ , فَجَاءَ , فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ , يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْهَوَامَّ مِنَ الْجِنِّ , فَمَنْ رَأَى فِي بَيْتِهِ شَيْئًا , فَلْيُحَرِّجْ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ , فَإِنْ عَادَ فَلْيَقْتُلْهُ , فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ " .
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: Muhammad ibn Abu Yahya said that his father told that he and his companion went to Abu Saeed al-Khudri to pay a sick visit to him. He said: Then we came out from him and met a companion of ours who wanted to go to him. We went ahead and sat in the mosque. He then came back and told us that he heard Abu Saeed al-Khudri say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Some snakes are jinn; so when anyone sees one of them in his house, he should give it a warning three times. If it return (after that), he should kill it, for it is a devil.
