Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ دَاوُدَ بْنَ فَرَاهِيجَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'Five types of animals are all vermin and there is no sin in killing them, whether in the sacred precinct or outside it: the scorpion, the crow, the kite (bird of prey), the mouse, and the aggressive dog.'
