Sahih al-Bukhari 3306
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لِلْوَزَغِ الْفُوَيْسِقُ. وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ. وَزَعَمَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ.
Saʿid ibn ʿUfayr narrated to us, from Ibn Wahb, who said: Yunus narrated to me, from Ibn Shihab, from ʿUrwa, who related from ʿAʾisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet ﷺ called the gecko ‘a harmful little creature.’ She said: ‘I did not hear him order that it be killed.’ Saʿd ibn Abi Waqqas maintained that the Prophet ﷺ ordered that it be killed.
Translation notes
Preserved the difference between ʿAʾisha’s statement and Saʿd’s report; rendered fuwaysiq as ‘harmful little creature.’
