Chapter 43 · The Book of Greetingsوحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا لُبَابَةَ، كَلَّمَ ابْنَ عُمَرَ لِيَفْتَحَ لَهُ بَابًا فِي دَارِهِ، يَسْتَقْرِبُ بِهِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ، فَوَجَدَ الْغِلْمَةُ جِلْدَ جَانٍّ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: الْتَمِسُوهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ: لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ، «فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْجِنَّانِ الَّتِي فِي الْبُيُوتِ».

Abu Lubaba رضی اللہ عنہ talked to Ibn 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ to open a door in his house which would bring them nearer to the mosque and they found a fresh slough of the snake, whereupon 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ said: Find it out and kill it. Abu Lubaba رضی اللہ عنہ said: Don't kill them, for Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade the killing of the snakes found in houses.
