باب قَتْلِ الْحَيَّةِ فِي الْحَرَمِ

Sunnan an-Nasai 2883

It was narrated that Abdullah said

"We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) said: 'Kill it.' So they rushed to kill, but it went back into its hole."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْخَيْفِ مِنْ مِنًى حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ ‏{‏ وَالْمُرْسَلاَتِ عُرْفًا ‏}‏ فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ اقْتُلُوهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَدَخَلَتْ فِي جُحْرِهَا ‏.‏
