It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing the snakes that live in houses (which the Arabs called 'awamir), except the one with two stripes and the short-tailed one, for these two cause miscarriage and take away eyesight.
