Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5158 — We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي غَارٍ إِذْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ : وَالْمُرْسَلاتِ عُرْفًا ، فَتَلَقَّفْنَاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ ، وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا ، إِذْ خَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اقْتُلُوهَا ، قَالَ : فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا ، فَسَبَقَتْنَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ وَوُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a cave when Surah "By those sent forth in succession" (al-Mursalat) was revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him). We began learning it directly from his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed mouth, and his blessed tongue was still moist with its recitation, when suddenly a snake appeared. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered: "Kill it." The narrator says: We rushed towards it to kill it, but it escaped before we could reach it. At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was protected from your harm, and you were protected from its harm."
