Mishkat al-Masabih #3975
Game and Animals Which May Be Slaughtered
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم قَالَ: «اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْجَانَّ الْأَبْيَضَ الَّذِي كَأَنَّهُ قضيب فضَّة» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Ibn Mas'ud reported God’s messenger as saying, "Kill all the snakes except the little white one which looks like a silver wand."
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
