1246. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Prophet ﷺ was stung by a scorpion while he was performing prayer, and he said: 'May Allâh curse the scorpion, for it does not spare anyone, whether he is praying or not. Kill them whether you are in Ihrâm or not.'" In Al-Hill (outside the sacred precincts of Makkah) or Al-haram (the sacred precincts of Makkah). (Hasan)
1246 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الْأَوْدِيُّ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الدَّهَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: لَدَغَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَقْرَبٌ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ: «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْعَقْرَبَ، مَا تَدَعُ الْمُصَلِّيَ وَغَيْرَ الْمُصَلِّي، اقْتُلُوهَا فِي الْحِلِّ وَالْحَرَمِ»

a. Although, as a rule, hunting animals is forbidden within the sacred precincts of Makkah, noxious insects and animals can be killed even there. b. As a human being, the Prophet ﷺ was liable to all the pains and hardships suffered by any other person, such as falling ill, getting wounded, experiencing hunger and thirst, feeling happy or sad, and forgetting things. In all of these circumstances, the words and actions of the Prophet ﷺ present the best exemplar before us.
