Reward for killing the lizard

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, you say: Is it true that if a person kills a lizard with his hand, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) shakes his hand, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : No, that is not correct. However, killing the lizard is something the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded.

The questioner : (peace and blessings be upon him).

The Shaykh : He commanded the killing of lizards, and that whoever kills one for the first time gets such and such a reward, and in the second time less than that. A person should strive to kill lizards, whether in the house or in the market,

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : because it is easy.
