Hadith 4931M
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَارٍ ، إِذْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ فَتَلَقَّيْنَاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا ، إِذْ خَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَلَيْكُمُ اقْتُلُوهَا " ، قَالَ : فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَسَبَقَتْنَا ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : " وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا " .
Narrated `Abdullah: While we were with Allah's Messenger in a cave, Surat "Wal Mursalat" was revealed to him and we received it directly from his mouth as soon as he had received the revelation. Suddenly a snake came out and Allah's Messenger said, "Get at it and kill it!" We ran to kill it but it outstripped us. Allah's Apostle said, "It has escaped your evil, as you too, have escaped its."
