Arabic hadith text

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ، بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ خَمْسٌ فَوَاسِقُ يُقْتَلْنَ فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ الْحَيَّةُ وَالْغُرَابُ الأَبْقَعُ وَالْفَارَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ وَالْحُدَيَّا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba narrated to us: Ghundar narrated to us, from Shu'ba. In another chain, Ibn al-Muthanna and Ibn Bashshar said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us: Shu'ba narrated to us. He said: I heard Qatada narrate from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: ‘Five harmful creatures are to be killed in al-hill and al-haram: the snake, the speckled crow, the rat, the vicious dog, and the kite.’

Translation notes
  • The paired terms al-hill and al-haram are kept transliterated here because their scope may refer to being outside or within the sacred state or precinct; the Arabic wording does not further specify this in this report.

  • يُقْتَلْنَ فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ

    These paired terms can be understood as outside and within the sacred precinct or as outside and within the state of ihram; this report does not explain which scope is intended.

    Should the terms be rendered as locations or as states of consecration in this context?
