“O Mother of the Believers, what do you do with this?” She said: “We kill these house lizards with it, for the Prophet of Allah ﷺ told us that when Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, there was no beast on earth that did not try to put it out, apart from the house lizard that blew on it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that they should be killed.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3231)   

أحمد:٢٤٥٣٤حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي سَائِبَةُ مَوْلَاةٌ لِلْفَاكِهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَتْ

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَرَأَيْتُ فِي بَيْتِهَا رُمْحًا مَوْضُوعًا قُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ بِهَذَا الرُّمْحِ؟ قَالَتْ هَذَا لِهَذِهِ الْأَوْزَاغِ نَقْتُلُهُنَّ بِهِ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةوَالسَّلَامُ حِينَ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ دَابَّةٌ إِلَّا تُطْفِئُ النَّارَ عَنْهُ غَيْرَ الْوَزَغِ كَانَ يَنْفُخُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِهِ
