English narration

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ , عَنْ مَالِكٍ , عَنْ نَافِعٍ , عَنْ أَبِي لُبابةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْجِنَّانِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِي الْبُيُوتِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَا الطُّفْيَتَيْنِ وَالْأَبْتَرَ , فَإِنَّهُمَا يَخْطِفَانِ الْبَصَرَ وَيَطْرَحَانِ مَا فِي بُطُونِ النِّسَاءِ
