وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي

هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قَتَلَ وَزَغَةً فِي أَوَّلِ ضَرْبَةٍ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً وَمَنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً لِدُونِ الأُولَى وَإِنْ قَتَلَهَا فِي الضَّرْبَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا حَسَنَةً لِدُونِ الثَّانِيَةِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: He who killed a gecko with the first stroke for him is such and such a reward, and he who killed it with a second stroke for him is such and such reward less than the first one, and he who killed it with the third stroke for him is such and such a reward less than the second one.

ইয়াহইয়া ইবনু ইয়াহইয়া (রহঃ) ..... আমির ইবনু সা’দ ইবনু আবূ ওয়াক্কাস (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। সা'দ ইবনু আবূ ওয়াক্কাস (রাঃ) তার মৃত্যুকালীন পীড়ার সময় বলেছেন, তোমরা আমার জন্য একটা কবর ঠিক করে রাখ এবং আমার কবরের উপর এভাবে ইট স্থাপন কর যেভাবে রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এর কবরে করা হয়েছে। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ২১০৯, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)

عامر بن سعد بن ابی وقاص سے روایت ہے کہ حضرت سعد بن ابی وقاص رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے اپنی اس بیماری کے دوران میں جس میں وہ فوت ہوگئے تھے ، ( اپنے لواحقین سے ) کہا : میرے لئے لحد تیار کرنا اور میرے اوپر اچھے طریقے سے کچی اینٹیں لگانا جس طرح رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) قبر مبارک ) کے ساتھ کیا گیا ہے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Yahya] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Ja'far Al Miswari] dari [Isma'il bin Muhammad bin Sa'd] dari [Amir bin Sa'd bin Abu Waqash] bahwa [Sa'd bin Abu Waqash] berkata di waktu sakit yang menyebabkan kematiannya, "Buatkan bagiku lahad dan susunkan batu-batu di atas kuburanku sebagaimana yang diperbuat pada kuburan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam

Bize Yahya b. Yahya rivayet etti. (dediki): Bize Abdullah b. Ca'fer-i Misverî, İsmâîl b. Muhammed b. Sa'd'dan, o da Âmir b. Sa'd b. Ebi Vakkaas'dan naklen haber verdi. Sa'd b. Ebi Vakkas ölüm hastalığında: — «Benim için bir Iâhd açın ve üzerime Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'e yapıldığı gibi kerpiçleri güzelce dizin.* demiş

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encourages us to kill geckos. He informs us that anyone kills it with the first blow will have one hundred good deeds written for him; and anyone kills it with the second blow will have less than that (written for him); and whoever kills it with the third blow will have less than that (written for him).

The wisdom behind killing geckos is that it was blowing into the fire in which Ibrahīm (peace be upon him) was thrown, and it is harmful and poisonous.
