Ibn ‘Umar said The Prophet ﷺ was asked as to which of the creatures could be killed by a pilgrim in the sacred state. He said there are five creatures which it is not a sin for anyone to kill, outside or inside the sacred area. The Scorpion, the Crow, the Rat, the Kite and the biting Dog.

  رواه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه عمرو بن دينار وابن عيينة عن الزهري عن سالم عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وخالفهم يونس بن يزيد رواه عن الزهري عن سالم عن ابن عمر عن حفصة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورواه زيد بن جبير عن ابن عمر قال حدثتني إحدى نسوة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وفي هذا تقوية لما رواه يونس ورواه نافع وعبد الله بن دينار عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لم يذكروا فيه حفصة ولا غيرها ورواه وبرة بن عبد الرحمن عن ابن عمر موقوفا ورفعه صحيح

  machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrated it, and there is disagreement about him. ʿAmr b. Dīnār and Ibn ʿUyaynah narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Yūnus b. Yazīd differed from them: he narrated it from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim, from Ibn ʿUmar, from Ḥafṣah, from the Prophet ﷺ. Zayd b. Jubayr narrated it from Ibn ʿUmar, who said: "One of the wives of the Messenger of God ﷺ narrated to me." In this there is support for what Yūnus narrated. Nāfiʿ and ʿAbdullāh b. Dīnār narrated it from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ, and they did not mention Ḥafṣah in it, nor anyone else. Wabarah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrated it from Ibn ʿUmar as a statement of his own (mawqūf), and its attribution to the Prophet (raf') is sound (ṣaḥīḥ). Report a problem
