Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنْ وَبَرَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَتْلِ الْفَأْرَةِ وَالْغُرَابِ وَالذِّئْبِ قَالَ قِيلَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ الْحَيَّةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ قَالَ قَدْ كَانَ يُقَالُ ذَلِكَ.
English Translation
Ibn Numayr narrated to us: Hajjaj informed us, from Wabarah, from Ibn 'Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered that mice, crows, and wolves be killed. He said: It was said to Ibn 'Umar, "What about snakes and scorpions?" He said: "That too used to be said."
