Hadith 2233 Part C

setting

Salim , on the authority of his father. reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying

Kill the snakes having stripes over them and short-tailed snakes , for these two types cause miscarriage (of a pregnant woman) and they affect the eyesight adversely. So Ibn 'Umar used to kill every snake that he found. Abu Lubaba b. 'Abd al-Mundhir and Zaid b. Khattab saw him pursuing a snake , whereupon he said : They were forbidden (to kill) those snakes who live in houses.
