[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."  

أحمد:١٥٧٥٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

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
