Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ ضَمْضَمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَتْلِ الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قُلْتُ لِيَحْيَى مَا يَعْنِي بِالْأَسْوَدَيْنِ قَالَ الْحَيَّةَ وَالْعَقْرَبَ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Ma'mar told us: Yahya ibn Abi Kathir informed us, from Damdam, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded that the two black ones be killed during prayer. I said to Yahya: "What does he mean by the two black ones?" He said: "The snake and the scorpion."
