Hadith 2470
۞
10. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from al-Jamuraniy from ibn abu Hamzah from Sandal from Dawud ibn Farqad who has said the following
“I once was sitting in the house of abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and I looked at a pigeon of Ra’‘ibiy kind (name of a place) that made a long sound. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), looked at me and asked, ‘O Dawud, do you know what this bird says?’ I said, ‘No, I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It prays against the people who murdered al- Husayn (a.s.), so you must keep it in your homes.’”
عَنْهُ عَنِ الْجَامُورَانِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ صَنْدَلٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ جَالِساً فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى حَمَامٍ رَاعِبِيٍّ يُقَرْقِرُ طَوِيلًا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ يَا دَاوُدُ تَدْرِي مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا الطَّيْرُ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يَدْعُو عَلَى قَتَلَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَاتَّخِذُوا فِي مَنَازِلِكُمْ .
