حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ وَذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالأَبْتَرَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَلْتَمِسَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيُسْقِطَانِ الْحَبَلَ ‏"‏ . قَالَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَقْتُلُ كُلَّ حَيَّةٍ وَجَدَهَا فَأَبْصَرَهُ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ أَوْ زَيْدُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ يُطَارِدُ حَيَّةً فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ نُهِيَ عَنْ ذَوَاتِ الْبُيُوتِ .

বাংলা অনুবাদ
। সালিম (রহঃ) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমরা সাপ মেরে ফেলবে, বিশেষ করে ডোরাকাটা ও লেজকাটা সাপ। কেননা এ দু’টি সাপ দৃষ্টিশক্তি নষ্ট করে এবং গর্ভপাত ঘটায়। ‘আব্দুল্লাহ (রাঃ) সাপ পেলেই মেরে ফেলতেন। অবূ লুবাবাহ অথবা যায়িদ ইবনুল খাত্তাব (রাঃ) একটি সাপের পিছু ধাওয়া করতে দেখে বললেন, ঘরে বসবাসকারী সাপ মারতে নিষেধ করা হয়েছে। সহীহ।
