Book 28: Chapters on Hunting
It was
narrated from Sa’ibah, the freed slave woman of Fakih bin
Mughirah,
that she entered upon ‘Aishah and saw a spear in her house.
She
said: “O Mother of the Believers, what do you do with this?” She
said: “We kill these house lizards with it, for the Prophet (ﷺ) of
Allah
(ﷺ) told us that when Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, there
was no
beast on earth that did not try to put it out, apart from the
house
lizard that blew on it. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
commanded that
they should be killed.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سَائِبَةَ، – مَوْلاَةِ الْفَاكِهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ – أَنَّهَا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَرَأَتْ فِي بَيْتِهَا رُمْحًا مَوْضُوعًا فَقَالَتْ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا تَصْنَعِينَ بِهَذَا قَالَتْ نَقْتُلُ بِهِ هَذِهِ الأَوْزَاغَ فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَمَّا أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي الأَرْضِ دَابَّةٌ إِلاَّ أَطْفَأَتِ النَّارَ غَيْرَ الْوَزَغِ فَإِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَنْفُخُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِقَتْلِهِ .
