حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عَنْهَا ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ خَمْسٌ فَوَاسِقُ يُقْتَلْنَ فِي الْحَرَمِ الْفَأْرَةُ، وَالْعَقْرَبُ، وَالْحُدَيَّا، وَالْغُرَابُ، وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Musaddad narrated to us: Yazid ibn Zurayʿ narrated to us: Maʿmar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from ʿUrwa, from ʿAʾisha (may Allah be pleased with her), from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: ‘Five harmful creatures may be killed within the Sacred Precinct: the mouse, scorpion, kite, crow, and attacking dog.’
