[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a cave, and the female messengers were sent down upon him. We used to receive revelation from within the cave when a snake came out towards us, so we killed it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Your evil has been averted just as its evil was averted." Al-A'mash added in his narration: Abdullah said, "We used to receive revelation from within the cave in a moist atmosphere." Abu Abdur-Rahman disagreed with him, and said that Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated it from Al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, from Al-Aswad.  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١٥٧٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَالْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ وَأُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا فَإِنَّا لَنَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ إِذْ خَرَجَتْ عَلَيْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَدَخَلَتْ جُحْرَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا» زَادَ الْأَعْمَشُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنَّا لَنَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ رَطْبَةً قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ رَوَاهُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ

Once we were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a cave. Surat-al-Mursalat (77) was revealed there, and we were learning it from Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Suddenly a snake came out of its hole and we rushed towards it to kill it, but it hastened and entered its hole before we were able to catch it. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said," It has been saved from your evil and you have been saved from its evil."  

البخاري:٣٣١٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ فَنَزَلَتْ {وَالْمُرْسَلاَتِ عُرْفًا} فَإِنَّا لَنَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ إِذْ خَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ مِنْ جُحْرِهَا فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا لِنَقْتُلَهَا فَسَبَقَتْنَا فَدَخَلَتْ جُحْرَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا وَعَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ وَإِنَّا لَنَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ رَطْبَةً وَتَابَعَهُ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ وَقَالَ حَفْصٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ قَرْمٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ  

bukhari:4934 – ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ from my father > al-Aʿmash > Ibrāhīm > al-Aswad > ʿAbdullāh

While we were with the Prophet ﷺ in a cave, Surat wal-Mursalat was revealed to him and he recited it, and I heard it directly from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation. Suddenly a snake sprang at us, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Kill it!" We ran to kill it but it escaped quickly. The Prophet ﷺ said. "It has escaped your evil, and you too have escaped its evil."  

البخاري:٤٩٣٤ – حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ إِذْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلاَتِ فَإِنَّهُ لَيَتْلُوهَا وَإِنِّي لأَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ وَإِنَّ فَاهُ لَرَطْبٌ بِهَا إِذْ وَثَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اقْتُلُوهَا فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَذَهَبَتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا قَالَ عُمَرُ حَفِظْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي فِي غَارٍ بِمِنًى
