وَحَدَّثَنَا حَاجِبُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ يَقُولُ: «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَالْكِلَابَ، وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ، وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَالَى» قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: «وَنُرَى ذَلِكَ مِنْ سُمَّيْهِمَا، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ» قَالَ سَالِمٌ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: «فَلَبِثْتُ لَا أَتْرُكُ حَيَّةً أَرَاهَا إِلَّا قَتَلْتُهَا»، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً يَوْمًا، مِنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ، مَرَّ بِي زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، أَوْ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ، وَأَنَا أُطَارِدُهَا، فَقَالَ: مَهْلًا، يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِنَّ»، قَالَ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ».

I heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) commanding the killing of dogs and the killing of the striped and the short-tailed snakes, for both of them affect the eyesight adversely and cause miscarriage. Zuhri said: We thought of their poison (the pernicious effects of these two). Allah, however, knows best. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: I did not spare any snake. I rather killed everyone that I saw. One day as I was pursuing a snake from amongst the snakes of the house, Zaid bin Khattab or Abu Lubaba رضی اللہ عنہ happened to pass by me and found me pursuing it. He said: 'Abdullah, wait. I said: Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) commanded (us) to kill them, whereupon he said that Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) forbade the killing of the snakes of the houses.
