“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.”  

أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَرَأَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا رُمْحًا مَوْضُوعًا فَقَالَتْ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا تَصْنَعِينَ بِهَذَا قَالَتْ نَقْتُلُ بِهِ هَذِهِ الأَوْزَاغَ فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَمَّا أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي الأَرْضِ دَابَّةٌ إِلاَّ أَطْفَأَتِ النَّارَ غَيْرَ الْوَزَغِ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَنْفُخُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِهِ

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  

[Machine] "A woman entered upon Aisha, and she saw a raised spear. She asked, 'What is this spear?' Aisha replied, 'We kill the reptiles with it.' Then, Aisha narrated about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that when Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, all the animals turned away from him except for the lizard. It blew on the fire to cool it down for him."  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَإِذَا رُمْحٌ مَنْصُوبٌ فَقَالَتْ مَا هَذَا الرُّمْحُ؟ فَقَالَتْ نَقْتُلُ بِهِ الْأَوْزَاغَ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَتْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَمَّا أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ جَعَلَتِ الدَّوَابُّ كُلُّهَا تُطْفِئُ عَنْهُ إِلَّا الْوَزَغَ فَإِنَّهُ جَعَلَ يَنْفُخُهَاعَلَيْهِ
