Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَنْهُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَيَرَى اَلْحَيَّةَ أَوِ اَلْعَقْرَبَ يَقْتُلُهُمَا إِنْ آذَيَاهُ قَالَ« نَعَمْ»
From him from Hammad from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who is in prayer and sees a snake or a scorpion, should he kill them if they harm him? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes."
