قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، ثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ الْمَكِّيُّ - وَهُوَ الْقَدَّاحُ - عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ : كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا لَا تَزَالُ تَرَى جِنَّانًا فِي بَيْتِهَا فَأَمَرَتْ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ ، فَأُتِيَتْ فِي النَّوْمِ فَقِيلَ لَهَا : لِمَ قَتَلْتِ عَبْدَ اللهِ الْمُسْلِمَ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : لَوْ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا مَا اطَّلَعَ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِغَيْرِ إِذَنٍ ، فَقِيلَ لَهَا : أَمَا إِنَّكِ قَدْ عَلِمْتِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَطَّلِعُ إِلَّا حِينَ تَجْمَعِينَ عَلَيْكِ ثِيَابَكِ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ بِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا .
It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) would often see a snake in her house, so she gave an order and it was killed. Then someone came to her in a dream and said to her: "Why did you have this Muslim, Abdullah (a jinn), killed?" She said: "Had he been a Muslim, he would not have looked upon the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) without permission!" At this it was said to her: "Do you not know that he would only appear when you had gathered your clothes about you and covered yourself?" The narrator said: So when morning came, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave twelve thousand (dirhams) in charity (as a ransom or expiation for it).
وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ : حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : إِنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ فَقَالَ : خُلِقَ الْإِنْسَانُ وَالْحَيَّةُ سَوَاءً إِنْ رَآهَا أَفْزَعَتْهُ ، وَإِنْ لَدَغَتْهُ أَوْجَعَتْهُ ، فَاقْتُلُوهَا حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُمُوهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about killing snakes, and he said: "Man and the snake were created alike (in natural hostility to one another): if a man sees it, it frightens him, and if the snake bites a man, it causes him severe pain. So kill them wherever you find them."
وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ : حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِي عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ : الْحَيَّةُ أَفْسَقُ الْفَسَقَةِ ، فَاقْتُلُوهَا " .
It is narrated from al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) that he heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: "The snake is the most rebellious and harmful (fasiq) of all harmful creatures, so kill it (wherever you find it)."
