Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبٍّ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ كُلِّهِنَّ فَاسْتَأْذَنَهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مِنْ خَوْخَةٍ لَهُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَآهُمْ يَقْتُلُونَ حَيَّةً فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَمَا بَلَغَكُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ أُولَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ وَالدُّورِ وَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ ذِي الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرِ.
English Translation
Muhammad told us: Shu'bah told us - he said, from Abd Rabbih, from Nafi', from Abdullah ibn Umar - that he used to order the killing of all snakes. Abu Lubabah sought his permission to enter the mosque through a small door of theirs, and saw them killing a snake, so Abu Lubabah said to them: "Has it not reached you that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade killing the house-dwelling and home-dwelling ones, and ordered the killing of the one with two white stripes and the short-tailed one?"
