Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 21076 — Killing geckos

Sa'ibah, the freed slave-woman of Fakih bin al-Mughirah, said: Once I came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) in her room, and there was a spear lying there. I asked: O Mother of the Believers, what will you do with this spear? She said: We will kill geckos with it. The Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that when Ibrahim (peace be upon him), the Friend of Allah, was thrown into the fire, every creature on earth was putting out the fire, while the gecko was blowing on him, stirring it up even more. Because of this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it to be killed.
