English Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Layth narrated to us, Muslim ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, Hisham ibn Abi Abdullah narrated to us from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir from Damdam from Hadrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be well pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) commanded the killing of the two black creatures during prayer — meaning the snake and the scorpion. This hadith has been narrated from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir by more than one [narrator], [through] Abdullah ibn Yamin.
