Sunan Abi Dawud 5250 (Book 43, Hadith 478) #25541
Fighting Snakes

SUMMARY: We should not be afraid of snakes and we should fight them if they come near us.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet said: He who leaves the snakes along through fear of their pursuit, does not belong to us. We have not made peace with them since we have fought with them.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عِكْرِمَةَ، يَرْفَعُ الْحَدِيثَ فِيمَا أُرَى إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ تَرَكَ الْحَيَّاتِ مَخَافَةَ طَلَبِهِنَّ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا مَا سَالَمْنَاهُنَّ مُنْذُ حَارَبْنَاهُنَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how we should not be afraid of snakes and instead fight them if they come near us. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that those who are scared of snakes do not belong to the Muslim community, as it is important to stand up for ourselves and protect ourselves from harm. He also taught that we must never make peace with the snakes, as it is our duty to protect ourselves from any danger or harm that may come our way. This hadith teaches us the importance of courage and standing up for what is right, even when faced with fear or danger. It also teaches us to never give in to fear but instead face it head on with courage and strength.
