حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏

"‏ يَقْتُلُ الْمُحْرِمُ الْحَيَّةَ وَالْعَقْرَبَ وَالسَّبُعَ الْعَادِيَ وَالْكَلْبَ الْعَقُورَ وَالْفَأْرَةَ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقِيلَ لَهُ لِمَ قِيلَ لَهَا الْفُوَيْسِقَةُ قَالَ لأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ اسْتَيْقَظَ لَهَا وَقَدْ أَخَذَتِ الْفَتِيلَةَ لِتُحْرِقَ بِهَا الْبَيْتَ ‏.‏

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

‘The one in Ihram may kill the snake, the scorpion, the aggressive predator, the vicious dog and the harmful mouse.” It was said to him: “Why is it said that they are harmful?” He said:* “Because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) woke up because of one, and it had taken the wick (of the lamp) to burn down the house.”

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 3089) and At-Tirmidhi (No. 838).

Al-Sindi — Hashiyat al-Sindi on Sunan Ibn Majah

قَوْله ( وَالسَّبْع الْعَادِي ) أَيْ الظَّالِم الَّذِي يَفْتَرِس النَّاس وَالْفَأْرَة الْفُوَيْسِقَة تَصْغِير الْفَاسِقَة فَإِنَّهَا تَخْرُج مِنْ الْجُحْر إِلَى النَّاس وَتُفْسِد وَفِي الزَّوَائِد فِي إِسْنَاده يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ وَهُوَ ضَعِيف وَإِنْ أَخْرَجَ لَهُ مُسْلِمٌ.…
