Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Saeed narrates that a person in the state of Ihram may kill a snake, scorpion, predatory animals, dog, and small mouse. He was asked why the restriction of "al-Fuwaisiqah" was applied to the mouse. He replied, because it was about to set the house on fire with the lamp when the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) opened.
