[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Kill the snakes, kill Al-Tufaytayn (a type of venomous snake), and kill Al-Abtar (a type of harmful insect), for they cause the rope to fall down and blur the sight." Ibn 'Umar said, "My father saw me chasing after a snake to kill it, and he forbade me. So I said, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had ordered their killing.' He replied, 'Indeed, he later forbade killing creatures that live in houses.' Al-Zuhri said, 'And by creatures living in houses (al-'awamir), he meant insects and pests.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يُسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ وَيَطْمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَرَآنِي أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَوْ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَأَنَا أُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً لِأَقْتُلَهَا فَنَهَانِي فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِنَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَهَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ قَتْلِ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ وَهِيَ الْعَوَامِرُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying from the pulpit, "Kill the snake, kill the two tailless danglers, and kill the infertile one, for they cause the eye to unite and the rope to fall." I said, "I never saw a snake except that I killed it." Then Abu Lubabah ibn Abd al-Mundhir said to me, "Would you like to have a bet between us?" I said, "Yes." So he and I stood up and opened it, and a snake came out. I prepared to kill it, but he said to me, "Wait." I said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , has commanded to kill them." He said, "He has forbade killing the ones that stay in the house."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّةَ وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِعَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ قَالَ فَكُنْتُ لَا أَرَى حَيَّةً إِلَّا قَتَلْتُهَا حَتَّى قَالَ لِي أَبُو لُبَابَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ أَلَا تَفْتَحُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ خَوْخَةٌ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَقُمْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ فَفَتَحْنَاهَا فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ فَعَدَوْتُ عَلَيْهَا لِأَقْتُلَهَا فَقَالَ لِي مَهْلًا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِنَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed part of my repentance is that I abandon the home of my people and reside with you, and indeed I will give in charity from my wealth to Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A third of the responsibility will be lifted from you."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ مِنْ تَوْبَتِي أَنْ أَهْجُرَ دَارَ قَوْمِي وَأُسَاكِنَكَ وَإِنِّي أَنْخَلِعُ مِنْ مَالِي صَدَقَةً لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُجْزِئُ عَنْكَ الثُّلُثُ  

[Machine] "He used to order the killing of all snakes, so Abu Lubabah asked permission from him to enter from their side into the mosque. He saw them killing a snake, so Abu Lubabah said to them, 'Did you not hear that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the killing of house snakes and asked for the killing of the two harmful ones: the black snake and the snake with two white spots?'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ كُلِّهِنَّ فَاسْتَأْذَنَهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مِنْ خَوْخَةٍ لَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَآهُمْيَقْتُلُونَ حَيَّةً فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَمَا بَلَغَكُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ أُولَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ وَالدُّورِ وَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ ذِي الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرِ  

[Machine] He opened a door and a snake came out of it, so he ordered to kill it. Abu Lubabah said to him, "Do not do that, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has prohibited killing snakes found in houses."  

أَنَّهُ فَتَحَ بَابًا فَخَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ حَيَّةٌ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْجِنَّانِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي الْبُيُوتِ
