1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ كُلُّ مَا خَافَ الْمُحْرِمُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ وَالْحَيَّاتِ وَغَيْرِهَا فَلْيَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُرِدْكَ فَلا تُرِدْهُ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from those who narrated to him who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one in the state of Ihram is afraid of beasts or snakes and so on, one can kill them, however, if they do not attack, one must not attack them.”’

2ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَصَفْوَانَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِذَا أَحْرَمْتَ فَاتَّقِ قَتْلَ الدَّوَابِّ كُلِّهَا إِلاَّ الأَفْعَى وَالْعَقْرَبَ وَالْفَأْرَةَ فَإِنَّهَا تُوهِي السِّقَاءَ وَتُحْرِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ وَأَمَّا الْعَقْرَبُ فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ فَلَسَعَتْهُ عَقْرَبٌ فَقَالَ لَعَنَكِ الله لا بَرّاً تَدَعِينَ وَلا فَاجِراً وَالْحَيَّةُ إِذَا أَرَادَتْكَ فَاقْتُلْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ تُرِدْكَ فَلا تُرِدْهَا وَالْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ وَالسَّبُعُ إِذَا أَرَادَاكَ فَاقْتُلْهُمَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يُرِيدَاكَ فَلا تُرِدْهُمَا وَالأَسْوَدُ الْغَدِرُ فَاقْتُلْهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَارْمِ الْغُرَابَ رَمْياً وَالْحِدَأَةَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَعِيرِكَ.

2. Ali has narrated from his father from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan all from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Safwan from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who said, “When you assume the state of Ihram, you should stay away from killing all moving things except for the serpent, the scorpion and the rat because they tear the water containers and burn down (the house) upon the people of the house. As for the scorpion, the Holy prophet (sw) once extended his hand towards a stone and a scorpion stung him; so he (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘May Allah curse you. Neither do you leave a righteous one nor an immoral one’. As for the snake, if it intends to (attack you), kill it, but if it does not intend to, then do not intend to (attack it). If a vicious dog or a wild animal intends to (attack you), then kill them both, but if they do not intend to, then do not intend to (attack them). If it is the treacherous black snake, kill it in all conditions. If it is a crow or al-Hida’at (another kind of crow), shoot them (if they are) on the back of your camel.’”

3ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ يُقْتَلُ فِي الْحَرَمِ وَالإِحْرَامِ الأَفْعَى وَالأَسْوَدُ الْغَدِرُ وَكُلُّ حَيَّةِ سَوْءٍ وَالْعَقْرَبُ وَالْفَأْرَةُ وَهِيَ الْفُوَيْسِقَةُ وَيُرْجَمُ الْغُرَابُ وَالْحِدَأَةُ رَجْماً فَإِنْ عَرَضَ لَكَ لُصُوصٌ امْتَنَعْتَ مِنْهُمْ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘In al-Haram (the sacred area) and in the state of Ihram it is permissible to kill serpents, treacherous black snakes, all black snakes, scorpions, rats (what is al- Fuwaysaqah); and crows and al-Hida’at (another kind of crow) are pelted, and if thieves attack they are stopped.’”

4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ يَقْتُلُ الْمُحْرِمُ الزُّنْبُورَ وَالنَّسْرَ وَالأَسْوَدَ الْغَدِرَ وَالذِّئْبَ وَمَا خَافَ أَنْ يَعْدُوَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الْعَقُورُ هُوَ الذِّئْبُ.

4.

5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ مُحْرِمٍ قَتَلَ زُنْبُوراً قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ خَطَأً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ قُلْتُ لا بَلْ مُتَعَمِّداً قَالَ يُطْعِمُ شَيْئاً مِنْ طَعَامٍ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ أَرَادَنِي قَالَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَرَادَكَ فَاقْتُلْهُ.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who kills a wasp. He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is by mistake then there is nothing on him.’ I said, ‘No, it is done knowingly.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Feed a certain amount of food.’ I then asked, ‘Is it so even if it attacks me?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Anything that attacks, it is permissible for you to kill it.’”
