A narration similar to that of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is also reported from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no sin upon a person who kills five creatures: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse, and the biting dog." In the narration of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the words are different: "the snake, the wolf, and the biting dog." There is no sin upon the one who kills them. Janab Ibn Abi Maryam also narrates this hadith, but in his narration, the words mentioned are: "the snake, the wolf, the leopard, and the biting dog." Janab Muhammad bin Yahya says, as if he explained the biting dog by stating that what is meant by it is the snake, the wolf, and the leopard.
