Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 21081 — Killing snakes and the permission
٢١٠٨١ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن الأسود عن عبد اللَّه قال: كنا مع (رسول اللَّه) (١) ﷺ في غار، (و) (٢) قد أنزلت عليه: ﴿وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا﴾، قال (٣): فنحن نأخذها من فيه رطبة، إذ دخلت علينا حية، فقال لنا رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "اقتلوها" (فابتدرنا لها) (٤) (لنقتلها) (٥) (فسبقتنا) (٦) (بنفسها) (٧) فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "وقاها اللَّه شركم كما وقاكم شرها" (٨).
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a cave when this verse was revealed: "By those sent forth in succession." As soon as it was revealed, we took it fresh from the blessed mouth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Just then a snake entered the cave, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill it." We had only just rushed forward to kill the snake when it escaped. Then he said: "Allah has protected it from your harm just as He protected you from its harm."
