سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ مُحْرِمٍ قَتَلَ زُنْبُوراً قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ خَطَأً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ قُلْتُ لَا بَلْ مُتَعَمِّداً قَالَ يُطْعِمُ شَيْئاً مِنْ طَعَامٍ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ أَرَادَنِي قَالَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ أَرَادَكَ فَاقْتُلْهُ.

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who kills a wasp. He (the Imam) said, ‘If it is by mistake then there is nothing on him.’ I said, ‘No, it is done knowingly.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Feed a certain amount of food.’ I then asked, ‘Is it so even if it attacks me?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Anything that attacks, it is permissible for you to kill it.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
