Chapter: Extinguishing the lamp
Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1223 — Extinguishing the lamp
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: اسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ، فَإِذَا فَأْرَةٌ قَدْ أَخَذَتِ الْفَتِيلَةَ، فَصَعِدَتْ بِهَا إِلَى السَّقْفِ لِتَحْرِقَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَيْتَ، فَلَعَنَهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَحَلَّ قَتْلَهَا لِلْمُحْرِمِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: One night the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) woke up, and he suddenly saw a mouse taking a lamp and climbing onto the roof in order to set the house on fire. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cursed it and declared its killing permissible even during the sacred months.
