adab:1223

Abu Sa'id said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, woke up one night and found that a mouse had taken the wick and climbed onto the roof with it to burn the house down over them. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, cursed it and it became lawful to kill it in the Haram."  

الأدب المفرد:١٢٢٣حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ

اسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَإِذَا فَأْرَةٌ قَدْ أَخَذَتِ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَصَعِدَتْ بِهَا إِلَى السَّقْفِ لِتَحْرِقَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَيْتَ فَلَعَنَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَحَلَّ قَتْلَهَا لِلْمُحْرِمِ
