Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ صَيْفِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ وَجَدَ رَجُلٌ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ حَيَّةً فَأَخَذَ رُمْحَهُ فَشَكَّهَا فِيهِ فَلَمْ تَمُتْ الْحَيَّةُ حَتَّى مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فَأُخْبِرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مَعَكُمْ عَوَامِرَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا فَحَرِّجُوا عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَاقْتُلُوهُ.
English Translation
Ibn Numayr told us: 'Ubaydullah informed us, from Sayfi, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who said: A man found a snake in his house and took his spear and pierced it, but the snake did not die until the man died. This was reported to the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Indeed, you have among you house-dwelling jinn; if you see any of them, warn it off three times, and if you see it after that, kill it."
