Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
سَعْدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَيَرَى حَيَّةً بِحِيَالِهِ يَجُوزُ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَنَاوَلَهَا فَيَقْتُلَهَا فَقَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهَا خُطْوَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَلْيَخْطُ وَ لْيَقْتُلْهَا وَ إِلاَّ فَلاَ»
Sa'd from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan from Amr ibn Sa'id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from Ammar Al-Sabati who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who is in prayer and sees a snake nearby, is it permissible for him to reach out and kill it? Imam عليه السلام said: "If there is only one step between him and it, then he should step and kill it; otherwise, he should not."
