We are araid of vermin
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 488
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ مُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَيْفَرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ سِيرُوا الْبَرْدَيْنِ قُلْتُ إِنَّا نَتَخَوَّفُ مِنَ الْهَوَامِّ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَصَابَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مَعَ أَنَّكُمْ مَضْمُونُونَ.
488. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazi’e, from Munzar in Jayfar, from Hisham Bin Saalim who said: I heard Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام saying: ‘Travel when it is cool (time of the day)’. I said, ‘We are afraid of the pests’. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Even if something affects you, it is better for you in view to the fact that you will be safe (from sunstroke), as you are the protected ones (from pets)’.
