[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If anyone of you is struck, let him avoid the face, for indeed Allah created Adam in His own image."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا ضَرَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَجْتَنِبِ الْوَجْهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ آدَمَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ»  

"Some people apostatized after accepting Islam, and 'Ali burned them with fire. Ibn 'Abbas said: 'If it had been me, I would not have burned them; the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'No one should be punished with the punishment of Allah.' If it had been me, I would have killed them; the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4060)   

أَمَّا أَنَا لَوْ كُنْتُ لَمْ أُحَرِّقْهُمْ لِنَهْيِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَقَتَلْتُهُمْ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ» وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes us as targets with arrows of nobility is not amongst us."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ رَمَانَا بِالنَّبْلِ * فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»  

Do not make anything having life as a target. (Using translation from Muslim 1957a)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَتَّخِذُوا شَيْئًا فِيهِ الرُّوحُ غَرَضًا»  

[Machine] I heard Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari say, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited enduring the beast of burden."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَبْرِ الدَّابَّةِ»  

We fought along with AbdurRahman ibn Khalid ibn al-Walid. Four infidels from the enemy were brought to him. He commanded about them and they were killed in confinement. Abu Dawud said: The narrators other than Sa'id reported from Ibn Wahb in this tradition: "(killed him) with arrows in confinement." When Abu Ayyub al-Ansari was informed about it, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibiting to kill in confinement. By Him in Whose hands my soul is, if there were a hen, I would not kill it in confinement. 'Abd al-Rahman b. Khalid b. al-Walid was informed about it (the Prophet's prohibition). He set four slaves free. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2687)   

«سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الصَّبْرِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَتْ دَجَاجَةٌ مَا صَبَرْتُهَا» فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ خَالِدٍ فَأَعْتَقَ أَرْبَعَ رِقَابٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet said, "If you meet Habbar bin Al-Aswad and Naf'e bin Abdul-Qais, then burn them with fire." Then, the Prophet said afterwards, "No one punishes with fire except Allah, but if you meet them, then kill them."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا لَقِيتُمْ هَبَّارَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ وَنَافِعَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ فَحَرِّقُوهُمَا بِالنَّارِ» ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ «لَا يُعَذِّبُ بِالنَّارِ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمَا فَاقْتُلُوهُمَا»  

‘Urwa bin Al Zubair said “Hisham bin Halim bin Hizam found a man who was the governor of Hims making some Copts stand in the sun for the payment of jizyah. He said “What is this?” I heard the Apostle ﷺ as saying “Allaah Most High will punish those who punish the people in this world.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3045)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبُ الَّذِينَ يُعَذِّبُونَ النَّاسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا»  

‘Urwa bin Al Zubair said “Hisham bin Halim bin Hizam found a man who was the governor of Hims making some Copts stand in the sun for the payment of jizyah. He said “What is this?” I heard the Apostle ﷺ as saying “Allaah Most High will punish those who punish the people in this world.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3045)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبُ الَّذِينَ يُعَذِّبُونَ النَّاسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا» قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهُمْ  

An ant stung a prophet. He ordered a colony of ants to be burned. Allah revealed to him : because an ant stung you, you have perished a community which glorifies Me. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5266)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَّ نَمْلَةً قَرَصَتْ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَأَمَرَ بِقَرْيَةِ النَّمْلِ فَأُحْرِقَتْ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ قَرَصَتْكَ نَمْلَةٌ أَهْلَكْتَ أُمَّةً مِنَ الْأُمَمِ تُسَبِّحُ»  

[Machine] I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Do the camels of your people produce healthy ears, so that you intentionally approach a breeding she-camel and cut its ears and say, 'This one is a Bahir or this one is a Suhum, so you prohibit it for yourself and your family?' " I said, "Yes." He said, "Everything that Allah has given you is lawful for you, and the support of Allah is stronger than your support, and Musa (Moses) was harmed more than you."  

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تُنْتَجُ إِبِلُ قَوْمِكَ صِحَاحًا آذَانُهَا فَتَعْمَدُ إِلَى الْمُوسَى فَتَقْطَعُ آذَانَهَا فَتَقُولُ هَذِهِ بُحُرٌ أَوْ تَشُقُّ جُلُودَهَا وَتَقُولَ هَذِهِ صُرُمٌ فَتُحَرِّمُهَا عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أَهْلِكَ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَكُلُّ مَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ حِلٌّ سَاعِدُ اللَّهِ أَشَدُّ مِنْ سَاعِدِكَ وَمُوسَى اللَّهِ أَحَدُّ مِنْ مُوسَاكَ»  

[Machine] "Do not cut his hand, for indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stay among us and he would command us to give charity and forbid us from theft."  

«لَا تَقْطَعْ يَدَهُ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُومُ فِينَا فَيَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَيَنْهَانَا عَنِ الْمُثْلَةِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah curse those who liken animals to Allah."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ مَثَّلَ بِالْحَيَوَانِ»  

I (had the honour of) leading the white mule on which rode Allah's Apostle ﷺ and with him were Hasan and Husain, till it reached the apartment of Allah's Apostle ﷺ. The one amongst them was seated before him and the other one was seated behind him. (Using translation from Muslim 2423)  

«لَقَدْ قُدْتُ بِنَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الشَّهْبَاءِ حَتَّى أَدْخَلْتُهُمْ حُجْرَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَذَا قُدَّامَهُ وَهَذَا خَلْفَهُ»  

[Machine] From his father who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, it was narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Ride these animals gently and do not use them as chairs."  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَكَانَ أَبُوهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «ارْكَبُوا هَذِهِ الدَّوَابَّ سَالِمَةً وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوهَا كَرَاسِيَّ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ that he passed by a donkey that had been branded on its face or had a mark on it. The Prophet ﷺ cursed whoever did that and said, "Glory be to Allah, do not strike them on their faces."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِحِمَارٍ قَدْ كُوِيَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ أَوْ وُسِمَ فَلَعَنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ لَا تَضْرِبُوهَا عَلَى وُجُوهِهَا»  

“A woman entered Hell because of a cat which she tied up and did not feed, or let it loose to eat of the vermin of the earth, until it died.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4256)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «دَخَلْتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّارَ فِي هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَا هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَلَا هِيَ أَرْسَلَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ»  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Amr say, "The sun was eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He stood up, and we stood up and prayed. Then, he came to us and started to talk. He said, 'Paradise was shown to me and if I wished, I could have taken its fruits. And Hellfire was shown to me, and if it wasn't for me pushing it away from you, it would have covered you.' I saw three people being punished in it: a dark-skinned tall woman who was being punished in a cat for mistreating her cat. She did not feed it or let it eat from the vermin of the earth until it died. So, when it approached her, it would tear her apart, and when it turned away from her, it would tear her apart. I also saw the brother of Bani Du'daan being dragged by two columns in Hellfire, and Du'daan's twin braids were dragging him. He had stolen them from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I also saw the man with the growth (beard) resting on his growth (beard). The man with the growth (beard) used to steal from the war spoils with his growth (beard) hiding the stolen goods. When it vanished, he was affected by it, and when it appeared again, he would say, 'I did not steal; it just got stuck in my growth (beard)."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُ «انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ وَقُمْنَا فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا يُحَدِّثُنَا فَقَالَ » لَقَدْ عُرِضَتَ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ حَتَّى لَوْ شِئْتُ لَتَعَاطَيْتُ مِنْ قُطُوفِهَا وَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ النَّارُ فَلَوْلَا أَنِّي دَفَعْتُهَا عَنْكُمْ لَغَشِيَتْكُمْ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا ثَلَاثَةً يُعَذَّبُونَ امْرَأَةً حِمْيَرِيَّةً سَوْدَاءَ طَوِيلَةً تُعَذَّبُ فِي هِرَّةٍ لَهَا أَوْثَقَتْهَا فَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ فَهِيَ إِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ تَنْهَشُهَا وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ تَنْهَشُهَا وَرَأَيْتُ أَخَا بَنِي دَعْدَعٍ صَاحِبَ السَّائِبِتَيْنِ يُدْفَعُ بِعَمُودَيْنِ فِي النَّارِ وَالسَّائِبَتَانِ بَدَنَتَانِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرَقَهُمَا وَرَأَيْتُ صَاحِبَ الْمِحْجَنِ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى مِحْجَنِهِ وَكَانَ صَاحِبُ الْمِحْجَنِ يَسْرِقُ مَتَاعَ الْجّاجِّ بِمِحْجَنِهِ فَإِذَا خَفِيَ لَهُ ذَهَبَ بِهِ وَإِذَا ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَسْرِقْ إِنَّمَا تَعَلَّقَ بِمِحْجَنِي «  

[Machine] "That Al-Abbas had branded a camel or an animal on its face, and the Prophet ﷺ saw it and became angry. Abbas said, 'I will not brand it except on its hind legs.' So he branded it on its hind legs."  

«أَنَّ الْعَبَّاسَ وَسَمَ بَعِيرًا أَوْ دَابَّةً فِي وَجْهِهِ فَرَآهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَغَضِبَ فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ لَا أَسِمُهُ إِلَّا فِي آخِرِهِ فَوَسَمَهُ فِي جَاعِرَتَيْهِ»  

By Allah, I do not cauterise (the animal) but on a part at a distance from the face, and commanded (for the cauterisation) of his ass and it was cauterised on the buttocks and he was the first to cauterise on the buttocks. (Using translation from Muslim 2118)  

أَنَّ نَاعِمًا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِمَارًا مَوْسُومَ الْوَجْهِ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَسِمُهُ إِلَّا فِي أَقْصَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْوَجْهِ فَأَمَرَ بِحِمَارٍ لَهُ فَكُوِيَ فِي جَاعِرَتَيْهِ فَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ كَوَى الْجَاعِرَتَيْنِ  

By Allah, I do not cauterise (the animal) but on a part at a distance from the face, and commanded (for the cauterisation) of his ass and it was cauterised on the buttocks and he was the first to cauterise on the buttocks. (Using translation from Muslim 2118)  

أَنَّ نَاعِمًا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى حِمَارًا مَوْسُومَ الْوَجْهِ فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «وَاللَّهِ لَا أَسِمُهُ إِلَّا أَقْصَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْوَجْهِ فَأَمَرَ بِحِمَارِهِ فَكُوِيَ فِي جَاعِرَتَيْهِ فَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ كَوَى الْجَاعِرَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] He heard Jabir ibn Abdullah saying, "A donkey passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that had been branded on its face, and its nose was flowing with blood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'May Allah curse the one who did this.' Then he forbade striking on the face and hitting on the face."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ مَرَّ حِمَارٌ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ كُوِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ تَفُورُ مَنْخِرَاهُ مِنْ دَمٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ هَذَا» ثُمَّ نَهَى عَنِ الْكَيِّ فِي الْوَجْهِ وَالضَّرْبِ فِي الْوَجْهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw a donkey that had been marked on its face, so he said, "Did I not forbid this? May Allah curse whoever did it."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى حِمَارًا قَدْ وُسِمَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَمْ أَنْهَ عَنْ هَذَا؟! لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَهُ»  

Allah has cursed one who has cauterised it (on the face). (Using translation from Muslim 2117)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى حِمَارٍ قَدْ وُسِمَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ وَسَمَهُ»  

[Machine] "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a brother who wanted you to breastfeed him. I found him in the scalding pot while he was boiling sheep. Shu'bah said: I am most certain that he said it in her ears."  

«أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَخٍ لِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُحَنِّكَهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ فِي الْمِرْبَدِ وَهُوَ يَسِمُ غَنَمًا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَكْثَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي آذَانِهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever kills a snake will have seven rewards, and whoever kills a small harmful creature will have one reward."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَتَلَ حَيَّةً فَلَهُ سَبْعُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَمَنْ قَتَلَ وَزَغَةً فَلَهُ حَسَنَةٌ»  

“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)  

أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَرَأَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا رُمْحًا مَوْضُوعَةً فَقَالَتْ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا تَصْنَعِينَ بِهَذَا؟ قَالَتْ نَقْتُلُ بِهِ الْأَوْزَاغَ فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَمَّا أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ دَابَّةٌ إِلَّا أَطْفَأَتِ النَّارَ عَنْهُ غَيْرَ الْوَزَغُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْفُخُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِهِ «  

Abu Hurairah reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying There are five(creatures) the killing of which is lawful in the sacred territory. The Snake, the Scorpion, the Kite, the Rat and the biting Dog. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1847)   

«أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِ خَمْسِ فَوَاسِقَ فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ الْحِدَأَةُ وَالْغُرَابُ وَالْفَأْرَةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'There are five kinds of vermin that may be killed in the Haram: Scorpions, mice, crows, vicious dogs, and kites." (Sahih) Chaper 120. The Prohibition Of Disturbing The Game Of The Haram (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2891)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَمْسُ فَوَاسِقَ يُقْتَلْنَ فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ الْعَقْرَبُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْغُرَابُ الْأَبْقَعُ وَالْفَأْرَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ»  

[Machine] "She commanded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to kill the lizard, so he ordered its killing."  

أَنَّهَا اسْتَأْمَرَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي قَتْلِ الْوَزَغِ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهَا  

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) ordered a gecko to be killed, and calling it a noxious little creature. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5262)  

«أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِ الْوَزَغِ وَسَمَّاهُ فُوَيْسِقًا»  

"Geckos are vermin." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2886)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْوَزَغُ فُوَيْسِقٌ»  

I found him saying his prayer, so I sat down waiting for him to finish his prayer when I heard a stir in the bundles (of wood) lying in a comer of the house. I looked towards it and found a snake. I jumped up in order to kill it, but he (Abu Sa'id Khudri) made a gesture that I should sit down. So I sat down and as he finished (the prayer) he pointed to a room in the house and said: Do you see this room? I said: Yes. He said: There was a young man amongst us who had been newly wedded. We went with Messenger of Allah ﷺ (to participate in the Battle) of Trench when a young man in the midday used to seek permission from Messenger of Allah ﷺ to return to his family. One day he sought permission from him and Messenger of Allah ﷺ (after granting him the permission) said to him: Carry your weapons with you for I fear the tribe of Quraiza (may harm you). The man carried the weapons and then came back and found his wife standing between the two doors. He bent towards her smitten by jealousy and made a dash towards her with a spear in order to stab her. She said: Keep your spear away and enter the house until you see that which has made me come out. He entered and found a big snake coiled on the bedding. He darted with the spear and pierced it and then went out having fixed it in the house, but the snake quivered and attacked him and no one knew which of them died first, the snake or the young man. We came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and made a mention to him and said: Supplicate to Allah that that (man) may be brought back to life. Thereupon he said: Ask forgiveness for your companion and then said: There are in Medina jinns who have accepted Islam, so when you see any one of them, pronounce a warning to it for three days, and if they appear before you after that, then kill it for that is a devil. (Using translation from Muslim 2236a)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي فَجَلَسْتُ أَنْتَظِرُهُ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ فَسَمِعْتُ تَحْرِيكًا تَحْتَ السَّرِيرِ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ فَقُمْتُ لِأَقْتُلَهَا فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ أَنِ اجْلِسْ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَشَارَ إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِي الدَّارِ وَقَالَ تَرَى هَذَا الْبَيْتَ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِيهِ فَتًى مِنَّا حَدِيثَ عَهْدٍ بِعُرْسٍ فَخَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْخَنْدَقِ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْفَتَى يَسْتَأْذِنُهُ بِأَنْصَافِ النَّهَارِ وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ قَالَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ لَهُ «خُذْ سِلَاحَكَ فَإِنِّي أَخْشَى عَلَيْكَ» فَأَخَذَ سِلَاحَهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ بَيْنَ الْبَابَيْنِ فَهَيَّأَ لَهَا الرُّمْحَ لِيَطْعَنَهَا بِهِ وَأَصَابَتْهُ الْغَيْرَةُ فَقَالَتِ اكْفُفْ عَنْكَ رُمْحَكَ حَتَّى تَرَى مَا فِي بَيْتِكَ فَدَخَلَ فَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ مُنْطَوِيَةٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَأَهْوَى إِلَيْهَا فَانْتَظَمَهَا فِيهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بِهِ فَرَكَزَهُ فِي الدَّارِ فَاضْطَرَبَتِ الْحَيَّةُ فِي رَأْسِ الرُّمْحِ وَخَرَّ الْفَتَى صَرِيعًا فَمَا يُدْرَى أَيُّهُمَا كَانَ أَسْرَعَ مَوْتًا الْفَتَى أَمِ الْحَيَّةُ قَالَ فَجِئْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَقُلْنَا ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُحْيِيَهُ فَقَالَ «اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِصَاحِبِكُمْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ جِنًّا قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا فَآذِنُوهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَإِنْ بَدَا لَكُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ»  

“Kill snakes, and kill Dhit-Tufytain* and the Abtar**, for they take away the sight and cause miscarriage.” *A snake that has two white stripes on its back. **A snake with a short or mutilated tail. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3535)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيُسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ»  

[Machine] Narrated by al-Qa'nabi, who said: Narrated by Layth ibn Sa'd, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, that Abu Lubaba said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade killing the snakes found inside houses."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ قَالَ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي الْبُيُوتِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Snakes are created from the transformation of jinn, just as pigs and monkeys are transformed."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْحَيَّاتُ مِنْ مَسْخِ الْجَانِّ كَمَا مُسِخَتِ الْخَنَازِيرُ وَالْقِرَدَةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "These are the whispers of the jinn. So when any one of you sees something in his house, he should impede it three times. If he sees it after that, he should kill it, for it is only a devil."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَذِهِ هَوَامٌّ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَيْتِهِ شَيْئًا فَلْيُحَرِّجْ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنْ رَآهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَقْتُلْهَا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ شَيْطَانٌ»  

“Kill snakes, and kill Dhit-Tufytain* and the Abtar**, for they take away the sight and cause miscarriage.” *A snake that has two white stripes on its back. **A snake with a short or mutilated tail. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3535)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ»  

[Machine] He informed him that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Kill snakes and kill two types of crows and also the one with a stubby tail, for they seek eyesight and can cause the umbilical cord to weaken and drop." Ibn 'Umar said, "I used to kill every snake I encountered until Abu Lubabah ibn Abdul-Mundhir and Zaid ibn Al-Khattab saw me chasing a snake from the houses and they forbade me from killing it. I said, 'Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ordered their killing.' They replied, 'He prohibited killing the ones found inside houses.'"  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَاقْتُلُوا ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ» قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ مَا كُنْتُ أَدَعُ حَيَّةً إِلَّا قَتَلْتُهَا حَتَّى رَآنِي أَبُو لُبَابَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَأَنَا أُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً مِنْ حَيَّاتِ الْبُيُوتِ فَنَهَيَانِي عَنْ قَتْلِهَا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِنَّ فَقَالَا «إِنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "We have not made peace with them since we fought them, meaning the Hayyatas. And whoever refrains from killing any of them out of fear, then he is not one of us."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا سَالَمْنَاهُنَّ مُنْذُ حَارَبْنَاهُنَّ يَعْنِي الْحَيَّاتَ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ قَتْلَ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُنَّ خِيفَةً فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»  

Kill snakes, kill those which have two streaks and those with small tails, for they obliterate the eyesight and cause miscarriage. Salim said: ‘Abd Allah(b. ‘Umar) used to kill every snake which he found. Abu Lubabah or Zaid b. al-Khattab saw him chasing a snake. He said: He(the Prophet) prohibited house-snakes. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5252)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَطْمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيُسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ» وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَقْتُلُ الْحَيَّاتِ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى أَبْصَرَهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ يُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ نَهَى عَنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade killing shrikes*, frogs, ants and hoopoes.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3223)   

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ قَتْلِ أَرْبَعَةٍ الْهُدْهُدِ وَالصُّرَدِ وَالنَّمْلَةِ وَالنَّحْلَةِ»  

[Machine] A prophet from among the prophets sat under a tree and was bitten by an ant. He ordered the ants' house to be burned with everyone inside it. Then, Allah revealed to him, "Should not only one ant be sufficient?"  

«نَزَلَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ تَحْتَهَا فَلَدَغَتْهُ نَمْلَةٌ فَأَمَرَ بِبَيْتِهِنَّ فَتُحْرَقَ عَلَى مَنْ فِيهَا فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ هَلَّا نَمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً»  

the Messenger of Allah commanded that dogs be killed, except those which were exempted. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4277)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ  

Messenger of Allah, I find a change in your mood today. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Gabriel had promised me that he would meet me tonight, but he did not meet me. By Allah, he never broke his promises, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ spent the day in this sad (mood). Then it occurred to him that there had been a puppy under their cot. He commanded and it was turned out. He then took some water in his hand and sprinkled it at that place. When it was evening Gabriel met him and he said to him: you promised me that you would meet me the previous night. He said: Yes, but we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. Then on that very morning he commanded the killing of the dogs until he announced that the dog kept for the orchards should also be killed, but he spared the dog meant for the protection of extensive fields (or big gardens). (Using translation from Muslim 2105)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَصْبَحَ يَوْمًا وَاجِمًا قَالَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَنْكَرْتُ هَيْئَتَكَ مُنْذُ الْيَوْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَدْ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يَلْقَانِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَلَمْ يَلْقَنِي أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا أَخْلَفَنِي» قَالَتْ فَظَلَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِهِ جِرْوُ كَلْبٍ تَحْتَ بِسَاطٍ لَنَا فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ مَاءً فَنَضَحَ بِهِ مَكَانَهُ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى لَقِيَهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَدْ كُنْتَ وَعَدْتَنِي أَنْ تَلْقَانِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ أَجَلْ وَلَكِنَّا لَا نَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلَا صُورَةٌ» فَأَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ كَلْبِ الْحَائِطِ الصَّغِيرِ وَيَتْرُكُ كَلْبَ الْحَائِطِ الْكَبِيرَ  

"Whoever keeps a dog. Except a dog for hunting or herding livestock, two Qirats will be deducted from his reward each day." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4287)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا لَيْسَ بِكَلْبِ صَيْدٍ وَلَا مَاشِيَةٍ وَلَا حَرْثٍ نَقَصَ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ»  

The Prophet of Allah ﷺ ordered to kill dogs, and we were even killing a dog which a woman brought with her from the desert. Afterwards he forbade to kill them, saying: Confine yourselves to the type which is black. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2846)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِ الْكِلَابِ حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تَقْدُمُ مِنَ الْبَادِيَةِ بِالْكَلْبِ فَتَقْتُلُهُ ثُمَّ نَهَانَا عَنْ قَتْلِهَا وَقَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْأَسْوَدِ ذِي النُّقْطَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ»  

He who kept a dog would lose out of his deeds equal to one qirat every day. except (one kept) for watching the field or herd. (Using translation from Muslim 1575c)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَمْسَكَ كَلْبًا نَقَصَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قِيرَاطٌ إِلَّا كَلْبَ حَرْثٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever owns a dog, except for a hunting dog or a herding dog, will have two qirats of his reward deducted every day."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اقْتَنَى كَلْبًا إِلَّا كَلْبَ ضَارِيَةٍ أَوْ مَاشِيَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِهِ قِيرَاطَانِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ»
