'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ saw one day (standing) near the ruin (of his house) the slough of a snake and said (to the people around him): Pursue this snake and kill it. Abu Lubaba Ansari رضی اللہ عنہ said: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He forbade the killing of snakes found in the houses except the short-tailed snakes and those having streaks upon them, for both of them obliterate eyesight and affect that which is in the wombs of (pregnant) women.
