Hadith 1552
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ صَيْفِيٍّ مَوْلَى أَفْلَحَ مَوْلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَسَرِ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَدْعُو : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَدْمِ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ التَّرَدِّي ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ ، وَالْحَرَقِ وَالْهَرَمِ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَتَخَبَّطَنِي الشَّيْطَانُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ مُدْبِرًا ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَمُوتَ لَدِيغًا " .
Narrated AbulYusr: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to supplicate: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from my house falling on me, I seek refuge in Thee from falling into an abyss, I seek refuge in Thee from drowning burning and decrepitude. I seek refuge in Thee from the devil harming me at the time of my death, I seek refuge in Thee from dying in Thy path while retreating, and I seek refuge in Thee from dying of the sting of a poisonous creature. "
Hadith 1553
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ ،أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلًى لِأَبِي أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْيَسَرِ ، زَادَ فِيهِ " وَالْغَمِّ " .
The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Abu al-Yusr through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: "and from sorrow".
Hadith 5257
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ , عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ , عَنْ صَيْفِيٍّ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ , عَنْ أَبِي السَّائِبِ , قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ , فَبَيْنمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدُهُ , سَمِعْتُ تَحْتَ سَرِيرِهِ تَحْرِيكَ شَيْءٍ , فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ , فَقُمْتُ , فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : مَا لَكَ ؟ قُلْتُ : حَيَّةٌ هَاهُنَا , قَالَ : فَتُرِيدُ مَاذَا ؟ قُلْتُ : أَقْتُلُهَا , فَأَشَارَ إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِي دَارِهِ تِلْقَاءَ بَيْتِهِ , فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ ابْنَ عَمٍّ لي كَانَ فِي هَذَا الْبَيْتِ , فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْأَحْزَابِ اسْتَأْذَنَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ , وَكَانَ حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسٍ , فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِسِلَاحِهِ , فَأَتَى دَارَهُ فَوَجَدَ امْرَأَتَهُ قَائِمَةً عَلَى باب الْبَيْتِ , فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهَا بِالرُّمْحِ , فَقَالَتْ : لَا تَعْجَلْ حَتَّى تَنْظُرَ مَا أَخْرَجَنِي , فَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ فَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ مُنْكَرَةٌ , فَطَعَنَهَا بِالرُّمْحِ , ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بِهَا فِي الرُّمْحِ تَرْتَكِضُ , قَالَ : فَلَا أَدْرِي أَيُّهُمَا كَانَ أَسْرَعَ مَوْتًا الرَّجُلُ أَوِ الْحَيَّةُ , فَأَتَى قَوْمُهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالُوا : ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرُدَّ صَاحِبَنَا , فَقَالَ : اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِصَاحِبِكُمْ , ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ نَفَرًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ أَسْلَمُوا بِالْمَدِينَةِ , فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ فَحَذِّرُوهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ , ثُمَّ إِنْ بَدَا لَكُمْ بَعْدُ أَنْ تَقْتُلُوهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثِ " .
Abu al-Saib said I went to visit Abu Sa’ld al-Khudri, and while I was sitting I heard a movement under under his couch. When I looked and found a snake there, I got up. Abu Sa’ld said: what is with you? I said: Here is a snake. He said: what do you want ? I said: I shall kill it. He then pointed to a room in his house in front of his room and said: My cousin (son of my uncle) was in this room. He asked his permission to go to his wife on the occasion of the battle of Troops (Ahzab), as he was recently married. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him permission and ordered him to take his weapon with him. He came to his house and found his wife standing at the door of the house. When he pointed to her with the lance, she said; do not make haste till you see what has brought me out. He entered the house and found an ugly snake there. He pierced in the lance while it was quivering. He said: I do not know which of them died first, the man or the snake. His people then came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: supplicate Allah to restore our companion to life for us. He said: Ask forgiveness for your Companion. Then he said: In Madina a group of Jinn have embraced Islam, so when you see one of them, pronounce a waring to it three times and if it appears to you after that, kill it after three days.
Hadith 5259
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ , عَنْ صَيْفِيٍّ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَفْلَحَ , قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو السَّائِبِ مَوْلَى هِشَامِ بْنِ زُهْرَةَ , أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ , فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَأَتَمَّ مِنْهُ , قَالَ : فَآذِنُوهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ , فَإِنْ بَدَا لَكُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ , فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Saeed al-Khudri in a similar manner through a different chain of narrators. This version is more perfect. In this version he said: give it a warning for three days; if it appears to you after that, then kill it, for it is only a devil.
