عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ يَحْيَى: وَالْأَسْوَدَانِ الْحَيَّةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, ordered the killing of two black-colored creatures. Yahya bin Hamzah says that by black-colored creatures are meant the snake and the scorpion.
