EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages people to kill certain types of snakes which are known to be harmful and dangerous for humans. The two types mentioned in this hadith are the Dhit-Tufytain and the Abtar. The Dhit-Tufytain is a snake with two white stripes on its back while the Abtar has a short or mutilated tail. These snakes can take away sight and cause miscarriage if they bite someone, so it is important to kill them if found near human settlements or homes. This hadith teaches us that we should be aware of our surroundings and take necessary precautions against any potential danger that may come our way, especially when it comes to animals like snakes which can be very dangerous if not handled properly. It also teaches us about taking responsibility for our own safety as well as for those around us by eliminating any potential threats before they become an issue.
