1190 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا سَالَمْنَاهُنَّ مُنْذُ حَارَبْنَاهُنَّ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا خِيفَةً فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي» يَعْنِي الْحَيَّاتِ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "We have started fighting them, we have not made peace with them, and whoever, out of fear of them, lets any one of them go, he has no relation with us." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant snakes.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
In this hadith, the command has been given to kill snakes—that wherever you see one, kill it, even if it is in the Haram (sanctuary). There were some snakes present in Madinah Munawwarah, so the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had prohibited killing them at that time. However, later on, a general command was given that wherever there is a snake, kill it. Now, this is the ruling; the previous prohibition is abrogated.
