English translation

[5825] 128 - (2233) It was narrated from Sālim, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ (that he said): “Kill snakes and the one with two stripes and the short-tailed one, for they cause miscarriage and blindness.” Ibn ‘Umar used to kill every snake he found. Abū Lubābah bin ‘Abdul-Mundhir or Zaid bin Al-Khattāb saw him chasing a snake and said: “It is forbidden to kill those snakes that live in houses.”

Arabic text

١٢٨ - (٢٢٣٣) وحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّاقِدُ. حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلم "اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ. فَإِنَّهُمَا يَسْتَسْقِطَانِ الحبل ويلتمسان البصر".
