وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم قَالَ: «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْجَانَّ الْأَبْيَضَ الَّذِي كَأَنَّهُ قضيب فضَّة» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Translation

Ibn Mas'ud reported God’s messenger as saying, "Kill all the snakes except the little white one which looks like a silver wand." Abu Dawud transmitted it.
