Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْعَلاَءِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَرَى اَلْحَيَّةَ وَ اَلْعَقْرَبَ وَ هُوَ يُصَلِّي اَلْمَكْتُوبَةَ قَالَ« يَقْتُلُهُمَا»
From him from Ali ibn Al-Hakam from Al-Husayn ibn Abi Al-Ala who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who sees a snake or a scorpion while he is praying the obligatory prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: "He should kill them."
