Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنْ سَائِبَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي الْبُيُوتِ وَأَمَرَنَا بِقَتْلِ الْأَبْتَرِ وَذِي الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ قَالَ إِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيُسْقِطَانِ مَا فِي بُطُونِ النِّسَاءِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَهُمَا فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي.
English Translation
Aisha reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade killing snakes that are in houses and ordered the killing of the short-tailed snake (abtar) and the one with two white stripes (dhu al-tufyatayn), saying: "They cause loss of sight and cause miscarriages. Whoever leaves them is not from me."
