Use minimal force when killing an animal or creature

This hadith is about the importance of using minimal force when killing a house lizard. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that whoever kills a house lizard with one blow will have a certain reward from Allah SWT. However, if someone kills it with two or three blows then the reward will be less than the first time. This teaches us to use minimal force when dealing with animals and creatures as we are rewarded for our efforts by Allah SWT. We should also remember that animals are living creatures too and they deserve respect just like humans do.
