[Machine] It came down upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the night of Al-Hayyah. We said, "O Abu Abdur-Rahman, what is the night of Al-Hayyah?" He said, "I was with him when a snake came out to us, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Seek it.'" So we sought it and it overpowered us until it entered its hole. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Leave it, for Allah has protected you from its evil and protected it from your evil.'"
نَزَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْحَيَّةِ قُلْنَا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَا لَيْلَةُ الْحَيَّةِ؟ قَالَ أَنَا مَعَهُ إِذْ خَرَجَتْ عَلَيْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اطْلُبُوهَا» فَطَلَبْنَاهَا فَعَجَزَتْنَا حَتَّى دَخَلَتْ جُحْرَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعُوهَا؛ فَقَدْ وَقَاهَا اللهُ شَرَّكُمْ وَوَقَاكُمْ شَرَّهَا»
