While we were with the Prophet (ﷺ) in a cave, Surat wal-Mursalat was revealed to him and he recited it,
and I heard it directly from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation. Suddenly a snake sprang at
us, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Kill it!" We ran to kill it but it escaped quickly. The Prophet (ﷺ) said. "It has
escaped your evil, and you too have escaped its evil."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 455
