حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ الْغَنَوِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنَا شَاكِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْجَعْدِ قَالَتْ
سَمِعْتُ سَرَّاءَ بِنْتَ نَبْهَانَ الْغَنَوِيَّةَ تَقُولُ سَأَلَ نُصَيْبٌ غُلَامُنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْحَيَّاتِ مَا يَقْتُلُ مِنْهَا؟ قَالَتْ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «اقْتُلُوا مَا ظَهْرَ مِنْهَا كَبِيرَها وصَغِيرَها أَسْوَدَها وأَبْيَضَها فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَتَلَهَا مِنْ أُمَّتِي كَانَتْ فِدَاءً لَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنْ قَتَلَتْهُ كَانَ شَهِيدًا»

✧ I heard Sarrā’ bt. Nabhān al-Ghanawiyyah say: Nusayb, our slave, asked the Prophet ﷺ about snakes—which of them should be killed? She said: I heard him say, “Kill those of them that appear, the large and the small, the black and the white, for whoever among my Ummah kills one, it will be a ransom for him from the Fire; and whoever is killed by one, he is a martyr.”
