[Machine] A man asked the Prophet ﷺ , "What animals are considered harmful for a pilgrim to kill?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "The mouse, the scorpion, the crow, the hedgehog, and the dog that is loose." I asked Nafi' about the snake, and he said, "There is no difference of opinion regarding the snake."  

البيهقي:١٠٠٣٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَا يَقْتُلُ الْمُحْرِمُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ؟ قَالَ الْفَأْرَةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ وَالْغُرَابُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ قُلْتُ لِنَافِعٍ الْحَيَّةُ قَالَ الْحَيَّةُ لَا يُخْتَلَفُ فِيهَا  

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي كَامِلٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ
