حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ وَزَغًا فِي أَوَّلِ ضَرْبَةٍ فَلَهُ کَذَا وَکَذَا حَسَنَةً وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَلَهُ کَذَا وَکَذَا أَدْنَی مِنْ الْأُولَی وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَلَهُ کَذَا وَکَذَا حَسَنَةً أَدْنَی مِنْ الَّذِي ذَکَرَهُ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الثَّانِيَةِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3229
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever kills a house lizard with one blow will have such and such a reward. Whoever kills it with two blows will have such and such reward," less than the first. "And whoever kills it with three blows will have such and such reward," less than that mentioned the second time.
