عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنْ قَتْلِ عَوَامِرِ الْبُيُوتِ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذِي الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرِ ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَكْمَهَانِ الْأَبْصَارَ وَتَخْدِجُ مِنْهُنَّ النِّسَاءُ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ فَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ ، وَقَدْ وُثِّقَ عَلَى ضَعْفِهِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing the snakes that dwell in houses, except that the ruling is different for the one with two stripes or the short-tailed one, for these two take away eyesight, and women miscarry because of them."
Ahmad, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Faraj bin Fadalah, who has been declared trustworthy despite his weakness.

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ حَيَّاتِ الْبُيُوتِ إِلَّا الْأَبْتَرَ ، وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَخْطِفَانِ - أَوْ يَطْمِسَانِ - الْبَصَرَ ، وَيَطْرَحَانِ الْحَمْلَ مِنْ بُطُونِ النِّسَاءِ ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَهُمَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَأَبُو يَعْلَى ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ . قُلْتُ : هُوَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .
Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing the snakes found in the house, except that the case is different for the short-tailed one and the one with two stripes, for these two destroy eyesight and cause the loss of the pregnancy in women's wombs. (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) Whoever leaves these two alone is not one of us."
Ahmad and Abu Ya'la recorded it; the narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
This narration is reported in the "Sahih" in abridged form.

Hadith Takhrij «اخرجه ابو يعلي فى المسند (4776) اخرجه احمد فى المسند (29/5) ، أخرجه مسند أحمد برقم: 23490»
وَعَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ فَتًى مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسٍ فَخَرَجَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي غَزَاةٍ ، فَرَجَعَ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ قَائِمَةً فِي الْحُجْرَةِ ، فَبَوَّأَ إِلَيْهَا الرُّمْحَ فَقَالَتْ : ادْخُلْ ، فَانْظُرْ مَا فِي الْبَيْتِ ، فَدَخَلَ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِحَيَّةٍ مُنْطَوِيَةٍ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ ، فَانْتَظَمَهَا بِرُمْحِهِ ، ثُمَّ رَكَّزَ الرُّمْحَ فِي الدَّارِ ، فَانْتَفَضَتِ الْحَيَّةُ ، وَانْتَفَضَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَمَاتَتِ الْحَيَّةُ ، وَمَاتَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " إِنَّهُ نَزَلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ جِنٌّ مُسْلِمُونَ " . أَوْ قَالَ : " بِهَذِهِ الْبُيُوتِ عَوَامِرُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَتَعَوَّذُوا مِنْهُ ، فَإِنْ عَادَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A young man of the Ansar had recently married. He set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to take part in a military expedition. He came back from the way to check on his wife, and there was his wife standing at the door of the house. He pointed his spear at her, and the woman said: Come inside and see what the situation in the house is. He went in, and there was a snake lying on his bed. The man skewered the snake on his spear and then planted the spear in the neighbourhood. The snake attacked and the man also attacked, and the snake died and the man died too. This was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Some Muslim jinn had come to Madinah. (The narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) He said: There are some dwellers in these houses; when you see any of them, seek refuge from it, and if it comes back, kill it."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسٍ ، فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَعْثًا وَبَعَثَ فِيهِمْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْقَوْمُ تَعَجَّلَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ قَائِمَةً عَلَى بَابِهَا ، فَدَخَلَتْهُ غَيْرَةٌ فَهَيَّأَ إِلَيْهَا الرُّمْحَ لِيَطْعَنَهَا ، فَقَالَتْ : لَا تَعْجَلْ ، وَانْظُرْ مَا فِي الْبَيْتِ . فَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِحَيَّةٍ مُنْطَوِيَةٍ عَلَى فِرَاشِهَا ، فَطَعَنَ الْحَيَّةَ ، فَمَاتَتْ ، وَمَاتَ الرَّجُلُ ، فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْبُيُوتِ عَوَامِرَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ " . وَنَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِهِنَّ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الصَّغِيرِ ، وَالْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُ الْأَوْسَطِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: A young man had recently married. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched a military expedition, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent that man in this expedition too. When that man returned, he hurried to his home, and there was his wife standing at the door of the house. The man became very angry and pointed his spear at the woman to strike her. The woman said: Do not be hasty; look at what is in the house. He went into the house, and there was a snake lying on his bed. He struck the snake with the spear, and the snake died, and the man died too. News of this reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some jinn live in these houses. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing them.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; the narrators of al-Mu'jam al-Awsat are the narrators of the Sahih.
