adab:1223

Abu Sa'id said, "The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ 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
