وَعَن عكرمةَ عَن ابنِ عبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ: أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِقَتْلِ الْحَيَّاتِ وَقَالَ: «مَنْ تَرَكَهُنَّ خَشْيَةَ ثَائِرٍ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا» . رَوَاهُ فِي شَرْحِ السّنة
‘Ikrima told on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas, saying he was sure that he traced it back to the Prophet, that he used to order snakes to be killed and say, “He who leaves them alone fearing that one will come to take revenge does not belong to us.”
It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna.

Chain Data Audit In Progress
Narrator-chain data on this hadith is being actively audited against canonical sources (sunnah.com, dorar.net). Some chains in our database may differ from the canonical isnad pending review. Treat the family tree below as a working analysis, not a definitive scholarly source.
About these grades Grades shown above reflect specific scholars' assessments of the chain of transmission (isnad). They do not judge the Prophet's words. In Sunni tradition, all Companions of the Prophet are held to be upright (al-Sahaba kulluhum 'udul); any weakness in a chain originates with a later transmitter or a break in the chain, not with the Companion.
