[Machine] While we were in the Mosque of Al-Khaif on the night of Arafah, we heard the hissing of a snake. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Kill it." So it entered into a hole and he brought a torch and set it on fire. Then we emptied some of the holes, but we did not find it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave it, Allah has protected you from its evil and protected it from your harm."
بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ لَيْلَةَ عَرَفَةَ إِذْ سَمِعْنَا حِسَّ الْحَيَّةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوهَا» فَدَخَلَتْ فِي شَقِّ جُحْرٍ فَأَتَى بِسَعَفَةٍ فَأَضْرَمَ فِيهَا نَارًا ثُمَّ فَرَّغْنَا بَعْضَ الْجُحْرِ فَلَمْ نَجِدْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعُوهَا؛ فَقَدْ وَقَاهَا اللهُ شَرَّكُمْ وَوَقَاكُمْ شَرَّهَا»
