3249 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْحَيَّةُ فَاسِقَةٌ، وَالْعَقْرَبُ فَاسِقَةٌ، وَالْفَأْرَةُ فَاسِقَةٌ، وَالْغُرَابُ فَاسِقٌ» فَقِيلَ لِلْقَاسِمِ: أَيُؤْكَلُ الْغُرَابُ قَالَ: «مَنْ يَأْكُلُهُ؟ بَعْدَ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسِقًا»

Commentary

The Hadith considered the following animals as vermin: snake, scorpion, mouse, crow, kite and ravenous dog. Crow here means the one who has white color on its back and stomach. Those animals that have to be killed are unlawful. If they were lawful, we would be ordered to slaughter them instead of killing them.
