Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5320 — once he was delivering a sermon when suddenly
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَعْيَنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ الْجُشَمِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَخْطُبُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ هُوَ بِحَيَّةٍ تَمْشِي عَلَى الْجِدَارِ ، فَقَطَعَ خُطْبَتَهُ وَضَرَبَهَا بِعُصَيَّةٍ حَتَّى قَتَلَهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : مَنْ قَتَلَ حَيَّةً فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مُشْرِكًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was delivering a sermon when suddenly he noticed a snake crawling on the wall. He (may Allah be pleased with him) broke off his sermon and struck it with a small stick until he killed it, then said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Whoever kills a snake, it is as if he has killed a polytheist man.'"
