حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي الْفُرَاتِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَعْيَنِ الْعَبْديِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ الْجُشَمِيِّ قَالَ

بَيْنَمَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يَخْطُبُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، إِذْ مَرَّ بِحَيَّةٍ تَمْشِي عَلَى الْجِدَارِ، فَقَطَعَ خُطْبَتَهُ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَهَا بِقَضِيبِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلَهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ قَتَلَ حَيَّةً فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مُشْرِكًا قَدْ حَلَّ دَمُهُ.

✧ While Ibn Masud was giving a sermon one day, a snake passed by walking on the wall, so he interrupted his sermon, struck it with his stick until he killed it, then said: 'I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "Whoever kills a snake, it is as if he has killed an idolatrous man whose blood has become lawful."'
