Killing Creatures While Praying

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad commanded us to kill two black creatures while praying.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah commanded us to kill the two black ones (snakes and scorpions) while praying".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، وَيَزِيدَ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ - عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ ضَمْضَمِ بْنِ جَوْسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِقَتْلِ الأَسْوَدَيْنِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ

killing  *  creatures  *  praying

QUICK LESSONS:
Get rid of any dangerous creature before continuing your prayer.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught us that we should kill two black creatures, such as snakes and scorpions, while we are praying. This means that if a snake or scorpion is near you when you are praying, it is important to take the time to get rid of it before continuing your prayer. This teaches us that even when we are in the middle of something important like prayer, it is still important to take care of our safety and well-being first. It also shows us how much respect the Prophet had for all living things - even though he wanted us to protect ourselves from harm, he still wanted us to do so in a way that was respectful and kind towards animals.
