Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Saibah, the freed slave woman of Fakah bin Mughira, narrates that once I went to the room of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and found a spear lying there. I asked, "O Mother of the Believers! What will you do with this spear?" She replied, "We use it to kill lizards. The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that when Khalilullah Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was thrown into the fire, every creature on earth was trying to extinguish the fire, but the lizard was blowing on it to make it burn even more. For this reason, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that it be killed."
