حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ وَبَرَةَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِقَتْلِ الذِّئْبِ لِلْمُحْرِمِ يَعْنِي وَالْفَأْرَةَ وَالْغُرَابَ وَالْحِدَأَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَالْحَيَّةُ وَالْعَقْرَبُ فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ يُقَالُ ذَاكَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4851
It was narrated from Waborah: I heared Ibn Umar say: The messenger of Allah (PBUH) ordered the muhrim (pilgrim in ihram) to kill wolves , mice, crows and kites. It was said to him, And snakes and scorpions? He said: that is what used to be said.
