It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ commanded killing the two black ones during prayer; the scorpion and the snake.  

ابن ماجة:١٢٤٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ ضَمْضَمِ بْنِ جَوْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ الْعَقْرَبِ وَالْحَيَّةِ

“The Prophet ﷺ was stung by a scorpion while he was performing prayer, and he said: ‘May Allah curse the scorpion, for it does not spare anyone, whether he is praying or not. Kill them whether you are in Ihram or not.’” In Al-Hill (outside the sacred precincts of Makkah) or Al-Haram (the sacred precincts or Makkah).  

ابن ماجة:١٢٤٦حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الأَوْدِيُّ وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الدَّهَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

لَدَغَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَقْرَبٌ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْعَقْرَبَ مَا تَدَعُ الْمُصَلِّيَ وَغَيْرَ الْمُصَلِّي اقْتُلُوهَا فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ  

ibnmajah:1247Muḥammad b. Yaḥyá > al-Haytham b. Jamīl > Mandal > Ibn Abū Rāfiʿ from his father from his grandfather

It was narrated from Ibn Abu Rafi’, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ killed a scorpion while he was praying.  

ابن ماجة:١٢٤٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْدَلٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَتَلَ عَقْرَبًا وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ
