حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ التَّمَّارُ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
جَاءَتْ فَأْرَةٌ فَأَخَذَتْ تَجُرُّ الْفَتِيلَةَ فَجَاءَتْ بِهَا فَأَلْقَتْهَا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ قَاعِدًا عَلَيْهَا فَأَحْرَقَتْ مِنْهَا مِثْلَ مَوْضِعِ الدِّرْهَمِ فَقَالَ إِذَا نِمْتُمْ فَأَطْفِئُوا سُرُجَكُمْ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَدُلُّ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ عَلَى هَذَا فَتَحْرِقَكُمْ

A mouse came dragging a wick and dropped before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the mat on which he was sitting with the result that it burned a hole in it about the size of dirham. He (the prophet) said: When you go to sleep, extinguish your lamps, for the devil guides a creature like this to do thus and sets you on fire.

- ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm al-Mudhirī
في إسناده عمرو بن طلحة ولم نجد له ذكرا فيما رأيناه من كتبهم وإن كان هو عمرو بن طلحة وقع فيه تصحيف وهي طبقة لا يحتج بحديثه
machine translationIn its chain of transmission is ʿAmr b. Ṭalḥah, and we did not find any mention of him in the books of theirs that we have seen. And if he is [in fact] ʿAmr b. Ṭalḥah, then a scribal corruption (taṣḥīf) has occurred in it, and this is a class [of narrators] whose hadith is not used as evidence.
