Musnad of Abdullah bin Umar
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5493 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Kill snakes
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ ، وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ ، وَالْأَبْتَرَ ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ ، وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقْتُلُ كُلَّ حَيَّةٍ وَجَدَهَا ، فَأَبْصَرَهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ ، أَوْ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ يُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill snakes, and especially the snake with two white stripes on its back and the short-tailed snake, for these two target the eyesight and take it away, and cause miscarriage." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to kill every snake he found. Once, while he was chasing a snake, Sayyiduna Abu Lubabah bin Abd al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Zayd bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him and said: "the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden killing the snakes that live in houses."
