أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْأَوْزَاغِ".
Sayyida Umm Sharik (may Allah be pleased with her) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the killing of the lizard and the chameleon.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2038)
Although these animals do not bite anyone nor do they cause harm, yet they evoke a sense of aversion in the heart. Some have said that they possess poison and are venomous; others have said that in the land of Arabia, it would seize the udder of a she-camel and suck its milk.
It is mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari (2359): The lizard blew upon the fire of Ibrahim alayhis salam, meaning it tried to fan the flames. Mawlana Dawud Raz rahimahullah writes: This is a poisonous animal that constantly changes its color, and the command to kill it is given in the noble hadith, and there is reward for killing it.
