It is narrated from the freed slave-woman of Fakih bin al-Mughirah (whose name is Sa'ibah) that she came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and saw a spear placed in her house. She asked: "O Mother of the Believers! What do you use this spear for?" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "We kill these geckos with it, for the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that when Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was thrown into the fire, every creature living on the earth was striving to put out the fire except the gecko; it was blowing on him to make the fire blaze more. Therefore the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has ordered us to kill it." Abd al-Rahman al-Sarraj (may Allah have mercy on him) said that her name was Sa'ibah, and according to Shayban (may Allah have mercy on him), it is this same freed slave-woman of Fakih who is meant.
