عَنْ سَائِبَةَ مَوْلَاةٍ لِلْفَاكِهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فَرَأَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا رُمْحًا مَوْضُوعًا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ! مَاذَا تَصْنَعِينَ بِهَذَا الرُّمْحِ؟ قَالَتْ: هَذَا لِهَذِهِ الْأَوْزَاغِ، نَقْتُلُهُنَّ بِهِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ حِينَ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ دَابَّةٌ إِلَّا تُطْفِئُ النَّارَ عَنْهُ غَيْرَ الْوَزَغِ كَانَ يَنْفَخُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَتْلِهِ
It is narrated from Saibah, the freed slave woman of Fakah bin Mughira, that she went to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and saw a spear in her house and asked about it: O Mother of the Believers! What do you do with this spear? She said: We kill these lizards with it, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that when Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was thrown into the fire, every animal on the face of the earth tried to extinguish the fire, except for this lizard, which blew on the fire. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to kill it.
