Ibn Umar reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Kill snakes, kill those which have two streaks and those with small tails, for they obliterate the eyesight and cause miscarriage. Salim said: Abdullah (bin Umar) used to kill every snake which he found. Abu Lubabah or Zaid bin al-Khattab saw him chasing a snake. He said: He (the Prophet) prohibited house-snakes.
