حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ خَمْسٌ كُلُّهُنَّ فَاسِقَةٌ يَقْتُلُهُنَّ الْمُحْرِمُ وَيُقْتَلْنَ فِي الْحَرَمِ مِثْلَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2331
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "There are five, all of which are evil; the pilgrim in ihram may kill them and they may be killed in the Haram : mice, scorpions, snakes, vicious dogs and crows."
