[5840] 140 - (...) Asmâ' bint 'Ubaid narrated that a man who was called As-Sâ'ib – and he is known to us as Abû As-Sâ'ib – said: “We entered upon Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî, and while we were sitting there, we heard a movement beneath the bed. We looked and saw a snake...” and he quoted the story as in the Hadîth of Mâlik from Shaîfi (no. 5839). And he said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘These houses have inhabitants. If you see any of them, ask them to leave for three days. If it goes (all well and good), otherwise kill it, for it is a disbeliever.’ And he said to them: ‘Go and bury your companion.’”
