“There are five vermin that might be killed whether one is in or outside the sacred precincts: the snake, the speckled crow, the mouse, the vicious dog, and the kite.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3087)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ خَمْسُ فَوَاسِقَ يُقْتَلْنَ فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ «الْحَيَّةُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ وَالْغُرَابُ الْأَبْقَعُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْفَأْرَةُ»  

"We were with the Messenger of Allah in Al-Khaif, which is in Mina, when the following was revealed: 'By the winds sent forth one after another.' A snake came out, and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Kill it.' So they rushed to kill, but it went back into its hole." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2883)  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْخَيْفِ مِنْ مِنًى حِينَ نَزَلَتْ {وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا} [المرسلات 1] فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوهَا» فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَدَخَلَتْ فِي جُحْرِهَا  

"We were with the Messenger of Allah on the night of Arafat which is before Arafat, when he heard a snake. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Kill it.' It went into a crack in a rock, and we put a stick in and broke part of the hole, then we took some palm tree leave and set them ablaze in the hole. The Messenger of Allah: 'Allah protected it from your evil and protected you from its evil.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2884)  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ عَرَفَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ فَإِذَا حَسَّ الْحَيَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوهَا» فَدَخَلَتْ فِي شَقِّ جُحْرٍ فَأَدْخَلْنَا عُودًا فَقَلَعْنَا بَعْضَ الْجُحْرِ فَأَخَذْنَا سَعَفَةً فَأَضْرَمْنَا فِيهَا نَارًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَقَاهَا اللهُ شَرَّكُمْ وَوَقَاكُمْ شَرَّهَا»
