حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَوِ ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ـ رضى الله عنها أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْوَزَغِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ كَانَ يَنْفُخُ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿUbayd Allah ibn Musa—or Ibn Salam narrated from him: Ibn Jurayj informed us, from ʿAbd al-Hamid ibn Jubayr, from Saʿid ibn al-Musayyib, from Umm Sharik (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that geckos be killed and said: ‘It used to blow upon Ibrahim, peace be upon him.’

Translation notes

  • Preserved the uncertainty about the first transmitter and translated الوزغ as gecko.
