إِذَا أَحْرَمْتَ فَاتَّقِ قَتْلَ الدَّوَابِّ كُلِّهَا إِلَّا الْأَفْعَى وَ الْعَقْرَبَ وَ الْفَأْرَةَ فَإِنَّهَا تُوهِي السِّقَاءَ وَ تُحْرِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ وَ أَمَّا الْعَقْرَبُ فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ فَلَسَعَتْهُ عَقْرَبٌ فَقَالَ لَعَنَكِ اللَّهُ لَا بَرّاً تَدَعِينَ وَ لَا فَاجِراً وَ الْحَيَّةُ إِذَا أَرَادَتْكَ فَاقْتُلْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ تُرِدْكَ فَلَا تُرِدْهَا وَ الْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ وَ السَّبُعُ إِذَا أَرَادَاكَ فَاقْتُلْهُمَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يُرِيدَاكَ فَلَا تُرِدْهُمَا وَ الْأَسْوَدُ الْغَدِرُ فَاقْتُلْهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ ارْمِ الْغُرَابَ رَمْياً وَ الْحِدَأَةَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَعِيرِكَ .
Translation
Ali, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Sahzaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, and Safwan, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When you wear <span class="iTxt">Ihraam</span>, so fear killing the insects, all of them, except for the snake, and the scorpion, and the rat, for these tear the water containers and burn down (the house) upon the people of the house. And as for the scorpion, so the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> extended his<sup>saww</sup> hand to the tree, and a scorpion bit him<sup>saww</sup>. So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Curse you! Neither do you leave a righteous one nor an immoral one’. And the snake, when it intends (to attack) you, so kill it. But if it does not intend (to attack) you, so do not intend (to attack it)’. And the vicious dog and the wild animal, when they intend (to attack) you, so kill them. But, if they do not intend (to attack) you, so do not intend (to attack) them. And the treacherous black snake, so kill it upon every state. And the crow and the buzzard, pelt it upon the back of your camel’.
