مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5001 — on the night of Arafah, while we were
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَعَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ لَيْلَةَ عَرَفَةَ إِذْ " سَمِعْنَا حِسَّ الْحَيَّةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «اقْتُلُوهَا». فَدَخَلَتْ فِي شَقِّ جُحْرٍ، فَأُتِيَ بِسَعَفَةٍ فَأُضْرِمَ فِيهَا نَارٌ، ثُمَّ إِنَّا قَلَعْنَا بَعْضَ الْجُحْرِ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: «دَعُوهَا فَقَدْ وَقَاهَا اللَّهُ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وَقَاكُمْ شَرَّهَا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the night of Arafah, while we were in Masjid al-Khayf, we suddenly heard the sound of a snake, whereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered: "Kill it." The snake hid in a crack of a hole. Then a palm branch was brought and fire was lit in it; after that we dug up part of the hole but did not find it. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Leave it; Allah Almighty has protected it from your harm just as He has protected you from its harm."
