حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ " اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ، وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالأَبْتَرَ، فَإِنَّهُمَا يَطْمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ، وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ ". قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُطَارِدُ، حَيَّةً لأَقْتُلَهَا فَنَادَانِي أَبُو لُبَابَةَ لاَ تَقْتُلْهَا. فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ. قَالَ إِنَّهُ نَهَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ، وَهْىَ الْعَوَامِرُ .
ʿAbd Allah ibn Muhammad narrated to us: Hisham ibn Yusuf narrated to us: Maʿmar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who heard the Prophet ﷺ preaching from the pulpit: ‘Kill snakes, and kill the one with two stripes and the short-tailed one, for they impair eyesight and cause miscarriage.’ ʿAbd Allah added: While I was chasing a snake to kill it, Abu Lubaba called to me, ‘Do not kill it.’ I said, ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to kill snakes.’ He replied, ‘After that, he forbade killing those that live in houses; they are the domestic snakes.’
Translation notes
Rendered ذوات البيوت as snakes inhabiting houses and retained the mention of miscarriage from the Arabic.
