حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سُئِلَ عَنْ حَيَّاتِ الْبُيُوتِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئًا فِي مَسَاكِنِكُمْ فَقُولُوا أَنْشُدُكُنَّ الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُنَّ نُوحٌ أَنْشُدُكُنَّ الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُنَّ سُلَيْمَانُ أَنْ لاَ تُؤْذُونَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَ فَاقْتُلُوهُنَّ ‏"‏ .

Narrated AbdurRahman Ibn AbuLayla: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about the house-snakes. He said: When you see one of them in your dwelling, say: I adjure you by the covenant which Noah made with you, and I adjure you by the covenant which Solomon made with you not to harm us. Then if they come back, kill them

। আব্দুর রাহমান ইবনু আবূ লাইলাহ (রহঃ) থেকে তার পিতার সূত্রে বর্ণিত। একদা রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে ঘরে বসবাসকারী সাপ সম্পর্কে প্রশ্ন করা হলে তিনি বলেনঃ তোমরা তোমাদের বসবাসের ঘরে এগুলোকে দেখতে পেলে বলবেঃ আমি তোমাদেরকে সেই ওয়াদার কসম দিয়ে বলছি যা নূহ (আঃ) তোমাদের থেকে গ্রহণ করেছিলেন। অথবা আমি তোমাদেরকে সেই ওয়াদার কসম দিয়ে বলছি যা সুলায়মান (আঃ) তোমাদের কাছ থেকে নিয়েছিলেন যে, তোমরা আমাদের ক্ষতি করবে না।’ এরপরও তারা ফিরে এলে তোমরা তাদের মেরে ফেলো। দুর্বল।
