أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيِّ أَبُو حَفْصٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِي الْقَطَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدِ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ عَرَفَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ فَإِذَا حَسَّ الْحَيَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوهَا» فَدَخَلَتْ فِي شَقِّ جُحْرٍ فَأَدْخَلْنَا عُودًا فَقَلَعْنَا بَعْضَ الْجُحْرِ فَأَخَذْنَا سَعَفَةً فَأَضْرَمْنَا فِيهَا نَارًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَقَاهَا اللهُ شَرَّكُمْ وَوَقَاكُمْ شَرَّهَا»

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night before the Day of ʿArafah, when he sensed a snake. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Kill it.” It entered a crack of a hole. We inserted a stick and broke open part of the hole. We took a palm branch and kindled fire in it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Allah protected it from your evil and protected you from its evil.”
