وَ رَوَى حَنَانُ بْنُ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بِقَتْلِ اَلْفَأْرَةِ فِي اَلْحَرَمِ وَ اَلْأَفْعَى وَ اَلْعَقْرَبِ وَ اَلْغُرَابِ اَلْأَبْقَعِ تَرْمِيهِ فَإِنْ أَصَبْتَهُ فَأَبْعَدَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ كَانَ يُسَمِّي اَلْفَأْرَةَ اَلْفُوَيْسِقَةِ وَ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا تُوهِي اَلسِّقَاءَ وَ تُضْرِمُ اَلْبَيْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ ».
Hanan ibn Sadir narrated from Abu Ja'far (a.s) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) commanded the killing of a mouse in the Sacred Sanctuary, as well as a snake, a scorpion, and a pied crow. If you strike it, may Allah (swt) distance it [from His mercy]." He (saws) used to call the mouse "al-Fuwaysiqah" (the little corrupt one) and said: "It weakens water-skins and sets houses on fire for their inhabitants."
