Musnad Abi Ya'la 4776 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade killing
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ سَائِبَةَ ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَتْ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ ، إِلَّا الْأَبْتَرَ وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ ، إِنَّهُمَا يَخْطَفَانِ الْأَبْصَارَ ، وَيُسْقِطَانِ مَا فِي بُطُونِ النِّسَاءِ ، فَمَنْ تَرَكَهُمَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) "forbade killing snakes, except the short-tailed one (al-abtar) and the one with two white stripes on its back (dhu al-tufyatayn), for these two take away eyesight and cause pregnant women to miscarry. So whoever leaves them (instead of killing them to be safe from their harm) is not one of us."
