Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ فَتَحَ بَابًا فَخَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ حَيَّةٌ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي الْبُيُوتِ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ubayd told us, saying: Ubaydullah told us, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, that he opened a door and a snake came out of it, so he ordered it killed. Abu Lubabah said to him: "Do not do that, for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade killing the snakes that live in houses."
