Musnad of Abdullah bin Umar
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5498 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Kill snakes
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ ، وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ ، وَالْأَبْتَرَ ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يُذْهِبَانِ الْبَصَرَ ، وَيُسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ : فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً إِذْ رَآنِي أَبُو لُبَابَةَ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ ... فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهَا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ : إِنَّهُ نَهَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill snakes, and in particular be sure to kill the snake with two white stripes on its back and the short-tailed (dock-tailed) snake, for these two take away eyesight and cause miscarriage." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Once I was chasing a snake when Sayyiduna Abu Lubabah (may Allah be pleased with him) saw me and (forbade me from killing it). I said: "But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that they be killed." At that Sayyiduna Abu Lubabah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "After that, he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (killing the snakes that live in houses)."
