It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Razzaq, from Ma'mar, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, who he thought said from Damdam — that he said: "the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to kill the two black things during prayer: the scorpion and the snake." 'Abd al-Razzaq said: "He narrated it to us like this countless times."
