Sahih Muslim
Sahih Muslim 1198c
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ، عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " خَمْسٌ فَوَاسِقُ يُقْتَلْنَ فِي الْحَرَمِ الْعَقْرَبُ وَالْفَارَةُ وَالْحُدَيَّا وَالْغُرَابُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ " .
Abu al-Rabi al-Zahrani narrated to us: Hammad—namely, Ibn Zayd—narrated to us: Hisham ibn Urwa narrated to us, from his father, from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Five harmful creatures are to be killed in al-haram: the scorpion, the rat, the kite, the crow, and the vicious dog.’
Translation notes
The Arabic says al-haram. The English witness renders this as the state of ihram; the sacred-precinct sense is also possible, so the Arabic term is retained.
يُقْتَلْنَ فِي الْحَرَمِ
Al-haram may refer here to the state of ihram or to the sacred precinct; the Arabic sentence does not specify the scope further.
Should al-haram be rendered as the state of ihram or as the sacred precinct in this report?
