وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا سَالَمْنَاهُمْ مُنْذُ حَارَبْنَاهُمْ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ شَيْئًا مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً فَلَيْسَ منَّا»
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:, “We have not made peace with them 1 since we fought with them, so he who leaves any of them alone through fear does not belong to us.” 1. i.e. snakes.
