Musnad of Abdullah bin Umar
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5540 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Kill snakes
وَعَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ ، وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ ، وَالْأَبْتَرَ ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ ، وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ ، وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقْتُلُ كُلَّ حَيَّةٍ وَجَدَهَا ، فَأَبْصَرَهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ ، أَوْ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ يُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ 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) kill the one with two white stripes and the short-tailed snake, for these two (by their venomous effect) snatch away eyesight and cause a pregnant woman to miscarry." Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to kill every snake he found. Once Sayyiduna Abu Lubabah or Sayyiduna Zayd bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both) saw him chasing a snake and said: "He (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing those (snakes) that live in houses."
