It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever kills a gecko with the first blow, he will have such and such of Hasanah.'[1] Whoever kills it on the second blow, he will have such and such of Hasanah, less than the first. Whoever kills it on the third blow, he will have such and such of Hasanah, less than the second.' (Sahih) ٤٠

5263 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قَتَلَ وَزَغَةً فِي أَوَّلِ ضَرْبَةٍ فَلَهُ، كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً، وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً، أَدْنَى مِنَ الْأُولَى، وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً أَدْنَى مِنَ الثَّانِيَةِ»
