[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Mina, when a snake appeared. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Kill it." So, we attacked it, but it outran us.  

أحمد:٣٥٨٦ – حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمِنًى قَالَ فَخَرَجَتْ عَلَيْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اقْتُلُوهَا فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَسَبَقَتْنَا

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a cave in Mina, when a snake jumped towards us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Kill it." We hurried to kill it, but it was faster than us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Your evil has been prevented, just as its evil has been prevented."  

الطبراني:١٠١٤٩ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَلْمٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ بِمِنًى فَوَثَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوهَا» فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَسَبَقَتْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا»
