A woman named Saibah narrates: She went to the service of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and she saw a spear placed in the house of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She inquired: O Mother of the Believers, what do you do with this? Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: We use it to kill lizards, because the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) told us this: When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him) was thrown into the fire, every animal on the face of the earth tried to extinguish that fire except the lizard; it was blowing on it (so that the fire would flare up more). So the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it to be killed.
