وحَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَهْضَمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَهُوَ عِنْدَنَا ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ هَدْمٍ لَهُ، فَرَأَى وَبِيصَ جَانٍّ فَقَالَ: اتَّبِعُوا هَذَا الْجَانَّ فَاقْتُلُوهُ، قَالَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْجِنَّانِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي الْبُيُوتِ، إِلَّا الْأَبْتَرَ وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ، فَإِنَّهُمَا اللَّذَانِ يَخْطِفَانِ الْبَصَرَ، وَيَتَتَبَّعَانِ مَا فِي بُطُونِ النِّسَاءِ».

'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ saw one day (standing) near the ruin (of his house) the slough of a snake and said (to the people around him): Pursue this snake and kill it. Abu Lubaba Ansari رضی اللہ عنہ said: I heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌). He forbade the killing of snakes found in the houses except the short-tailed snakes and those having streaks upon them, for both of them obliterate eyesight and affect that which is in the wombs of (pregnant) women.
