عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ حَيَّاتِ الْبُيُوتِ إِلَّا الْأَبْتَرَ وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَخْتَطِفَانِ وَفِي لَفْظٍ يَطْمِسَانِ الْأَبْصَارَ وَيَطْرَحَانِ الْحَمْلَ مِنْ بُطُونِ النِّسَاءِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَهُمَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing household snakes, except for two types: the snake with a short tail and the one with two stripes on its back, for they snatch away eyesight and cause miscarriages in women. Whoever leaves these two (without killing them) is not from among us.
