2834. It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Al-Mūsāyyab that a woman entered upon 'Aishah, and in her hand was an iron-footed stick. She said: "What is this?" She ('Aishah) said: "It is for these geckos, because the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ told us, that there was nothing that did not try to extinguish the fire for Ibrāhīm except for this animal, so he told us to kill it. And he forbade us to kill harmless snakes, except for the snake with two lines on its back, and the snake with a short tail, for they snatch away the eyesight and cause that which is in women's wombs to be miscarried." (Hasan)
