حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزيِدَ وَيُونُسُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَعْيَنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ الْجُشَمِيِّ قَالَ
بَيْنَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَخْطُبُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِحَيَّةٍ تَمْشِي عَلَى الْجِدَارِ فَقَطَعَ خُطْبَتَهُ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَهَا بِقَضِيبِهِ أَوْ بِقَصَبَةٍ، قَالَ يُونُسُ: بِقَضِيبِهِ، حَتَّى قَتَلَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ قَتَلَ حَيَّةً، فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مُشْرِكًا قَدْ حَلَّ دَمُهُ.

✧ While Ibn Masud was delivering a sermon one day, he noticed a snake walking on the wall. He interrupted his sermon, struck it with his staff—or with a reed; Yunus said: with his staff—until he killed it, then said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Whoever kills a snake, it is as if he has killed a polytheist man whose blood is lawful."
