The response to the suspicion of the snake causing the child to miscarry and lose his sight... suspicion or miracle!
Some Christians claim that there is a doubt in
this hadith
that Ibn Omar used to kill snakes and then forbade it. He said: The
Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, demolished his wall and found the
skin of a snake in it. He said: Look where it is. So they looked, and he said:
Kill it. So I used to kill it for that reason, then I met Abu Lubabah, and he
told me that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not kill
the snake, for every tailless snake with two white spots causes
miscarriage and blindness , so kill it.

Summary of the narrator’s ruling: [Sahih]
Most or all snakes (venomous snakes) cause miscarriage and damage to eyesight
in several ways
1- Miscarriage: This
is a recent reference (2005) that mentions the occurrence of fetal loss
(abortion) as an accepted fact
. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...m&ordinalpos=3 For those
who do not know, fetal wastage = abortion http://medical-dictionary.thefreedic.../fetal+wastage ________________________ 2-
Blindness: Blindness means blindness , and it is said:
I blinded him, so he blinded him, if his sight went away. Lisan
al-Arab http://www.baheth.info/all.jsp?term=تمس And I will cite,
God willing, the evidence for blindness occurring from the bite of
all poisonous snakes, of which there were in the Arabian Peninsula. This
is the summary of what I read in the sources. Several researches proved
the occurrence of blindness (unilateral or bilateral/ temporary or permanent)
after a snake bite (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) 1 ) 2) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...m&ordinalpos=4 2006 3) http://archopht.ama-assn.org/cgi/con...ll/125/10/1430 2007 4) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7...m&ordinalpos=4 1978 5 ) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...m&ordinalpos=6 1953 http://www.ijo.in/article.asp?issn=0...aulast=Bhushan
Source ( 2 ) settles the issue completely and I quote from it
the following :
Venomous snake bites may result in neurologic or hemostatic dysfunction .
Viperine (hemotoxic) snake bites may produce coagulopathy, which may result in
several systemic complications . Visual loss may result
from direct inoculation of venom into the eye (globe necrosis, keratomalacia,
and uveitis), from optic neuritis, or secondary
to hemostatic abnormality (vitreous hemorrhage, cortical
infarction, and central retinal artery occlusion). Translation: Loss
of vision may occur as a result of 1) the emission of snake
venom directly into the eye, which leads to damage (necrosis) of the eye
completely, damage to the cornea, inflammation of the uvea (uvea) and
inflammation of the optic nerve , or as a result of 2) disturbances
in blood flow (of course after the bite) which leads to bleeding in the
posterior eye fluid, damage to the part of the brain responsible for vision, or
blockage of the main artery supplying the retina. _____ This source
attributes the contraction of the retinal arteries (which leads to a lack of
blood supply to the retina) to a substance called endothelin (ET) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...m&ordinalpos=3 ____ This
is a reference confirming the presence of a substance similar in structure and
function to endothelin (ET) in some snake venoms ET and some snake toxins
have a homologous structure and similar biologic actions http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9...m&ordinalpos=2 _____ And
The following was mentioned in the interpretation of the previous
hadith: His statement: (And kill the one with two stripes) is the
dual of Tafiya with a damma on the ta’ and a sukoon on the fa’, and it is the
palm branch of the eye, and Tafi is the palm branch of the eye, and the line on
the back of a snake was likened to it . Ibn Abd al-Barr said: It is
said that the one with two stripes is a type of snake that has two white lines
on its back. His statement: (And the one with a tail cut off) is the
one with a cut tail. Al-Nadr ibn Shumayl added that it is blue in color, and no
pregnant woman would look at it without miscarrying. It was said: The
one with a tail cut off is the snake with a short tail. Al-Dawudi
said: It is the snake that is a handspan long or a little more. His
statement: “And the one with a tail cut off” requires a difference between the
one with two stripes and the one with a tail cut off; and it appears in the
following chain of transmission: “Do not kill snakes except those with a tail
cut off and two stripes.” The apparent meaning is that they are the same, but
that does not negate the difference. http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/D...earchLevel=QBE It
is known that snakes and vipers are poisonous snakes and therefore what
was mentioned previously about their bites causing loss of sight applies to
them ____ This, as the brothers say, is a doubt that has
turned into a miracle. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and
that Muhammad is the servant and Messenger of Allah . Allah the Most High
said:
“Has not the time come for those who have believed that their hearts should
become humble at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth
and they not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long
period passed over them and their hearts hardened, and many of them are
wicked.” (16) (Al-Hadid)
