Hadith: Kill the two blacks during prayer: the snake and the scorpion
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «اقتلوا الأسودَين في الصلاة: الحيَّة، والعقرب».
[صحيح] - [رواه أبو داود والترمذي والنسائي وابن ماجه وأحمد والدارمي]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kill the two blacks during prayer: the snake and the scorpion."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad - Ad-Daarimi]
This noble Hadīth points out that killing snakes and scorpions even during prayer is recommendable, because we have been ordered to kill them, and because their killing requires a limited movement that does not invalidate prayer.
