حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ كُلَّهَا إِلاَّ الْجَانَّ الأَبْيَضَ الَّذِي كَأَنَّهُ قَضِيبُ فِضَّةٍ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فَقَالَ لِي إِنْسَانٌ الْجَانُّ لاَ يَنْعَرِجُ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ فَإِذَا كَانَ هَذَا صَحِيحًا كَانَتْ عَلاَمَةً فِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ .

English translation

বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ইবনু মাস‘ঊদ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেছেন, তোমরা সব সাপকেই হত্যা করবে, কেবল সাদা জিন ব্যতীত যা দেখতে রৌপ্য দন্ডের মতো। ইমাম আবূ দাঊদ (রহঃ) বলেন, আমাকে এক ব্যক্তি বলেছেন, সাদা সাপ আঁকাবাঁকা হয়ে চলালচল করে না। এটা যদি সঠিক হয়ে থাকে তবে আল্লাহর ইচ্ছায় তা এই সাপের একটি নিদর্শন। সহীহ মাওকূফ।
