Hadith Q2665
بِذِكْرِ لَفْظَةٍ مُجْمَلَةٍ فِي ذِكْرِ بَعْضِهِنَّ بِلَفْظٍ عَامٍّ، مُرَادُهُ خَاصٌّ عَلَى أَصْلِنَا
A statement regarding a concise narration in this context, while the words of some narrations are general whereas their intended meaning is specific. Just as is our principle.
Hadith 2665
Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no sin upon the person who kills five creatures: the scorpion, the kite, the mouse, the biting dog, and the crow."
Hadith 2666
A narration similar to that of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is also reported from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no sin upon a person who kills five creatures: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse, and the biting dog." In the narration of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the words are different: "the snake, the wolf, and the biting dog." There is no sin upon the one who kills them. Janab Ibn Abi Maryam also narrates this hadith, but in his narration, the words mentioned are: "the snake, the wolf, the leopard, and the biting dog." Janab Muhammad bin Yahya says, as if he explained the biting dog by stating that what is meant by it is the snake, the wolf, and the leopard.
Hadith 2667
حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ بَحْر ، ثني
حَاتِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ عَجْلانَ ، عَنِ
الْقَعْقَاعِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " خَمْسٌ قَتْلُهُنَّ حِلٌّ فِي الْحَرَمِ : الْحَيَّةُ ، وَالْعَقْرَبُ ، وَالْفَأْرَةُ ، وَالْحِدَأَةُ ، وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةُ الَّتِي قَالَهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى فِي تَفْسِيرِ الْكَلْبِ الْعَقُورِ ، وَذِكْرِ الْحَيَّةِ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ سَبَقَهُ لِسَانُهُ إِلَى هَذَا ، لَيْسَتِ الْحَيَّةُ مِنَ الْكَلْبِ فِي شَيْءٍ ، وَلا يَقَعُ اسْمُ الْكَلْبِ عَلَى الْحَيَّةِ ، فَأَمَّا النَّمِرُ وَالذِّئْبُ فَاسْمُ الْكَلْبِ وَاقِعٌ عَلَيْهِمَا ، فِي خَبَرِ حَاتِمِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بَيَانٌ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الْحَيَّةِ وَبَيْنَ الْكَلْبِ الْعَقُورِ ، فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ : الْكَلْبَ الْعَقُورَ يُرِيدُ الْحَيَّةَ ، إِنَّهَا تَقَعُ اسْمُ الْكَلْبِ عَلَيْهَا
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is permissible to kill five animals within the boundaries of the Haram: the snake, the scorpion, the mouse, the kite, and the biting dog." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Imam Muhammad bin Yahya, while explaining the biting dog, mentioned the snake; it is possible that this was a slip of the tongue, because there is no connection between the snake and the dog, nor is the word 'dog' used for a snake. However, the word 'dog' is applied to the leopard and the wolf. In the narration of Hatim bin Isma'il, this clarification exists that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) differentiated between the snake and the biting dog. Therefore, how is it possible that in this narration, the biting dog refers to the snake, as the word 'dog' is not used for the snake.
