Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الأَوْدِيُّ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الدَّهَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ لَدَغَتِ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَقْرَبٌ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْعَقْرَبَ مَا تَدَعُ الْمُصَلِّيَ وَغَيْرَ الْمُصَلِّي اقْتُلُوهَا فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad bin Uthman bin Hakim Al-Audi and Al-Abbas bin Jafar narrated to us: Ali bin Thabit Ad-Dahhan narrated to us: Al-Hakam bin Abdul-Malik narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Said bin Al-Musayyab, from Aishah, who said: A scorpion stung the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was praying. He said: May Allah curse the scorpion, for it spares neither one who is praying nor one who is not. Kill it in the lawful open territory and in the sanctuary.
