حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ سَالِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ،‏‏‏‏ وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ،‏‏‏‏ وَالْأَبْتَرَ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ،‏‏‏‏ وَيُسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَقْتُلُ كُلَّ حَيَّةٍ وَجَدَهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَأَبْصَرَهُ أَبُو لبابةَ أَوْ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ يُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ قَدْ نُهِيَ عَنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: Kill snakes, kill those which have two streaks and those with small tails, for they obliterate the eyesight and cause miscarriage. Salim said: Abdullah (bin Umar رضی اللہ عنہما) used to kill every snake which he found. Abu Lubabah or Zaid bin al-Khattab saw him chasing a snake. He said: He (the Prophet) prohibited house-snakes.
