Sahih Muslim 2240a (Book 39, Hadith 197) #12935
Mercy and Kindness towards Geckos

SUMMARY: Killing geckos should be done with mercy and kindness.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: He who killed a gecko with the first stroke for him is such and such a reward, and he who killed it with a second stroke for him is such and such reward less than the first one, and he who killed it with the third stroke for him is such and such a reward less than the second one.
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي، هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَتَلَ وَزَغَةً فِي أَوَّلِ ضَرْبَةٍ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً لِدُونِ الأُولَى وَإِنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً لِدُونِ الثَّانِيَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Show mercy when killing a gecko.
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about showing mercy and kindness towards geckos. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that if we need to kill a gecko, we should do it with mercy and kindness. He said that if you kill the gecko in one stroke then you will receive a certain reward from Allah SWT. If you kill it in two strokes then the reward will be less than the first one, and if you kill it in three strokes then the reward will be even less than the second one. This teaches us to show mercy even when dealing with small creatures like geckos because Allah SWT rewards those who are merciful.
