Hadith #51227
وَعَن ابْن عمر أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَطْمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً أَقْتُلَهَا نَادَانِي أَبُو لُبَابَةَ: لَا تَقْتُلْهَا فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ نَهَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ ذَوَات الْبيُوت وَهن العوامر
On the authority of Ibn Omar, he heard the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, saying: “Kill the snakes, and kill the one with two tuffs and the amputated one, for they are destroyed.” The sight and the cord fell. Abdullah said: While I was chasing a snake and killing it, Abu Lubaba called to me: Do not kill it. So I said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered the killing of snakes. He said: After that, he forbade the dwellings and the living ones.
