حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ سَائِبَةَ مَوْلاَةِ الْفَاكِهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ
أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَرَأَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا رُمْحًا مَوْضُوعًا فَقَالَتْ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا تَصْنَعِينَ بِهَذَا قَالَتْ نَقْتُلُ بِهِ هَذِهِ الأَوْزَاغَ فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ

“O Mother of the Believers, what do you do with this?” She said: “We kill these house lizards with it, for the Prophet of Allah ﷺ told us that when Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, there was no beast on earth that did not try to put it out, apart from the house lizard that blew on it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that they should be killed.”
Notes
أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَمَّا أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي الأَرْضِ دَابَّةٌ إِلاَّ أَطْفَأَتِ النَّارَ غَيْرَ الْوَزَغِ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَنْفُخُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَتْلِهِ

يرويه نافع مولى ابن عمر واختلف عنه فرواه عبد الله بن نافع عن أبيه عن سائبة عن عائشة وأم سلمة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وغيره يرويه عن نافع عن سائبة عن عائشة وحدها وهو المحفوظ
machine translationIt is narrated by Nāfiʿ, the freed slave (mawlā) of Ibn ʿUmar, and there is disagreement about it from him. ʿAbdullāh b. Nāfiʿ narrated it from his father, from Sāʾibah, from ʿĀʾishah and Umm Salamah, from the Prophet ﷺ. Others narrate it from Nāfiʿ, from Sāʾibah, from ʿĀʾishah alone, and that is the preserved (maḥfūẓ) version.
