Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ ضَمْضَمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَتْلِ الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَقُلْتُ لِيَحْيَى مَا يَعْنِي بِالْأَسْوَدَيْنِ قَالَ الْحَيَّةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us, Ma'mar informed us, Yahya ibn Abi Kathir informed me, from Damdam, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded that the two black ones be killed during prayer. I said to Yahya: "What does he mean by the two black ones?" He said: "The snake and the scorpion."
