حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " مَنْ قَتَلَ وَزَغًا فِي أَوَّلِ ضَرْبَةٍ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا - أَدْنَى مِنَ الأُولَى - وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً - أَدْنَى مِنَ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الثَّانِيَةِ " .

Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Abī al-Shawārib narrated to us: ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn al-Mukhtār narrated to us: Suhayl narrated to us, from his father, from Abū Hurayrah, from the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: Whoever kills a gecko with the first strike receives such-and-such a number of good deeds. Whoever kills it with the second receives such-and-such a number—fewer than the first. Whoever kills it with the third strike receives such-and-such a number of good deeds—fewer than what was mentioned for the second.
