بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي قَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ وَمَا يُقَالُ فِي ذَلِكَWhat is Reported Regarding Killing Snakes and What is Said About That
Hadith 1788
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ سَائِبَةَ مَوْلَاةٍ لِعَائِشَةَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْجِنَّانِ الَّتِي فِي الْبُيُوتِ، إِلَّا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَخْطِفَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيَطْرَحَانِ مَا فِي بُطُونِ النِّسَاءِ "
Hazrat Saibah, who is the freed slave woman of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing the snakes that are in the house, except for the one with two stripes and the short-tailed one, for they cause blindness and miscarriage.
