Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا سَالَمْنَاهُنَّ مُنْذُ حَارَبْنَاهُنَّ مَنْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا خَشْيَةً فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا يَعْنِي الْحَيَّاتِ.
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us, from Ibn Ajlan, who said: I heard my father from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him), who said: "We have not made peace with them since we declared war on them. Whoever leaves one of them out of fear is not one of us" - meaning snakes.
