5260Abu DawoodHasan Sahih (Al-Albani)حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مُخْتَصَرًا قَالَ فَلْيُؤْذِنْهُ ثَلاَثًا فَإِنْ بَدَا لَهُ بَعْدُ فَلْيَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ " The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn 'Ajilan through a different chain of narrators briefly. This version has:He should give it a warning three times. If it appears to him after that, he should kill it, for it is a devil.Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud 5258 In-book : Book 43, Hadith 486 English translation : Book 42, Hadith 5238
