Harmalah ibn Yahya narrated it to me, informing us Ibn Wahb, informing me Yunus. And it was narrated to us by Abd ibn Humayd, informing us Abd al-Razzaq, informing us Ma'mar. And it was narrated to us by Hasan al-Hulwani, narrating to us Ya'qub, narrating to us my father, from Salih — all of them from al-Zuhri with this chain of transmission, except that Salih said: "Until Abu Lubabah ibn Abd al-Mundhir and Zayd ibn al-Khattab saw me, and they said: 'Indeed, he has forbidden [killing] those that live in houses.'" And in the narration of Yunus: "Kill the snakes," and he did not say "the one with two white stripes and the one with a truncated tail."
