حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَمْعَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ وَهْرَامَ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ اخْتِنَاثِ الْأَسْقِيَةِ وَإِنَّ رَجُلًا بَعْدَ مَا نَهَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِکَ قَامَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ إِلَی سِقَائٍ فَاخْتَنَثَهُ فَخَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ حَيَّةٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3419
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H forbade tipping up water skins. After the Messenger of Allah had forbidden that, a man got up at night and tipped up a water skin, and a snake fell out of it onto him," (Sahih)
