English translation
1830. Narrated 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: While we were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ in a cave at Mina, when Sūrat Al-Mursalāt was revealed and he recited it and I heard it (directly) from his mouth as soon as he recited it, then suddenly a snake sprang at us and the Prophet ﷺ said (ordered us): "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."
