Arabic text

2829 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " خَمْسٌ يَقْتُلُهُنَّ الْمُحْرِمُ: الْحَيَّةُ، وَالْفَأْرَةُ، وَالْحِدَأَةُ، وَالْغُرَابُ الْأَبْقَعُ، وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ "

Commentary
