Regarding killing snakes

Sunan Abi DawudHadith Number 5261

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ اقْتُلُوا الْحَيَّاتِ كُلَّهَا إِلاَّ الْجَانَّ الأَبْيَضَ الَّذِي كَأَنَّهُ قَضِيبُ فِضَّةٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فَقَالَ لِي إِنْسَانٌ الْجَانُّ لاَ يَنْعَرِجُ فِي مِشْيَتِهِ فَإِذَا كَانَ هَذَا صَحِيحًا كَانَتْ عَلاَمَةً فِيهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ‏.‏

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: Kill all the snakes except the little white one which looks like a silver wand. Abu Dawud said: A man said to me: A white snake does not wind in its movement. If it is correct, that is a sign in it, if Allah wills.
