Hadith #405
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً دَخَلَتْ عَلَى عَ
ائِشَةَ فَإِذَا رُمْحٌ مَنْصُوبٌ فَقَالَتْ مَا هَذَا الرُّمْحُ فَقَالَتْ نَقْتُلُ بِهِ الْأَوْزَاغَ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَتْ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَمَّا أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ جَعَلَتْ الدَّوَابُّ كُلُّهَا تُطْفِئُ عَنْهُ إِلَّا الْوَزَغَ فَإِنَّهُ جَعَلَ يَنْفُخُهَا عَلَيْهِ
Isnad Chain
English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she saw a spear in the house and asked: 'What is this spear for?' She was told: 'We use it to kill geckos.' She then narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that when Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, every creature tried to extinguish it except the gecko — for it was blowing upon it.
