91 - Chapter: What a Muhrim (pilgrim in ihram) May Kill

3087 - Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, Muhammad ibn Bashshar, Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna, and Muhammad ibn al-Walid narrated to us; they said: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us; Shu'bah narrated to us; I heard Qatadah narrating from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, from 'A'ishah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Five are vermin that may be killed in the Halal (outside the sanctuary) and the Haram (the sacred precincts): the snake, the speckled crow, the mouse, the vicious dog, and the kite."

============================================

Also narrated from a Shaykh of the Ansar in 'Abd al-Razzaq (8292), Ibn Abi Shaybah 4/13-14, Ahmad (20582), Abu Dawud in "al-Marasil" (139), al-Daraqutni (2552-2556), and al-Bayhaqi 5/207 and 208. There is discrepancy and confusion in its chains of transmission, with weakness in some of them.

See also the reports from the Companions on this topic in "Musannaf 'Abd al-Razzaq" 4/420-423, "Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah" 13/4-14, and "Sunan al-Bayhaqi" 5/208.

(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Shu'bah: he is Ibn al-Hajjaj, and Qatadah: he is Ibn Di'amah al-Sadusi.

It was also recorded by Muslim (1198) (67), and al-Nasa'i 5/188 and 208, via the chain of Shu'bah, with this chain of transmission.

It was also recorded by al-Bukhari (1829), Muslim (1198) (68-71), al-Tirmidhi (853), and al-Nasa'i 5/208, 209-210, 210, and 211, via the chain of 'Urwah ibn al-Zubayr; and by Muslim (1198) (66) via the chain of al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, both from 'A'ishah. Neither of them restricted the crow with the qualifier "speckled."

It is also in "Musnad Ahmad" (24661) and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (5632) and (5633). Regarding his statement "al-abqa' (speckled)," al-Sindi said: it is the one with whiteness on its back or belly. Some scholars have adopted this qualifier, while others have responded that the unrestricted narrations are more authentic.

Regarding "al-kalb al-'aqur (the vicious dog)," Ibn al-Athir said: it is every predatory beast that attacks, i.e., wounds, kills, and preys upon, such as the lion, leopard, and wolf.
