أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَسْمَاءِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ السَّائِبُ قَالَ
كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَهُو جَالِسٌ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ فَأَبْصَرْنَا تَحْتَ سَرِيرِهِ حَيَّةً فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ هَذِهِ حَيَّةٌ تَحْتَ السَّرِيرِ؟ فَقَالَ لَا تُهَيِّجُوهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ الْبُيُوتِ عَوَامِرُ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَيْئًا مِنْهَا فَحَرِّجُوا عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ وَإِلَّا فَاقْتُلُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَافِرٌ» مُخْتَصَرٌ

✧ We were with Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri while he was sitting on his bed, and we saw a snake under his bed. We said, “O Abu Sa‘id, there is a snake under the bed.” He said, “Do not disturb it.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said: “These houses have inhabitants (jinn/snakes). When you see any of them, warn it three times. If it goes away, [leave it]; otherwise kill it, for it is an unbeliever.” Abridged.
