Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ ضَمْضَمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Rafi‘ reported to us; he said: Sulayman ibn Dawud, Abu Dawud, reported to us; he said: Hisham—namely, Ibn Abi ‘Abd Allah—reported to us, from Ma‘mar, from Yahya, from Damdam, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded that the two black ones be killed during prayer.
Translation notes
The source says “the two black ones”; the surrounding chapter identifies them as snakes and scorpions.
