حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْجَانَّ الْأَبْيَضَ الَّذِي كَأَنَّهُ قَضِيبُ فِضَّةٍ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ لِي:‏‏‏‏ إِنْسَانٌ الْجَانُّ لَا يَنْعَرِجُ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِذَا كَانَ هَذَا صَحِيحًا كَانَتْ عَلَامَةً فِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ .
