Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 4483 — I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ اقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يُسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ ويَطْمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ»
قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: فَرَآنِي أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَوْ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، وَأَنَا أُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً لِأَقْتُلَهَا، فَنَهَانِي، فَقُلْتُ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِنِّ» فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَهَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ قَتْلِ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ» قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: «وَهُنَّ الْعَوَامِرُ»
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Kill snakes; kill the one with two stripes and the short-tailed one, for these two cause miscarriage and take away eyesight."
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Then Abu Lubabah (may Allah be pleased with him) or Zayd bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saw me while I was chasing a snake in order to kill it, and he forbade me. I said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has ordered that they be killed. He said: After that he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing the snakes that live in houses. Al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: These are the snakes called 'awamir' (house-dwellers).
