حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَارٍ فَأُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا فَجَعَلْنَا نَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْهُ فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ مِنْ جَانِبِ الْغَارِ فَقَالَ اقْتُلُوهَا فَتَبَادَرْنَاهَا فَسَبَقَتْنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4063
t was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) in a cave and (the soorah) "By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah)" [al-Mursalat 77:1] was revealed to him; we learned it from him, Then a snake came from the side of the cave, and he said: "Kill it," so we rushed to kill it but it got away from us. He said: "It was protected from your evil as you were protected from its evil."
