Hadith 799
۞
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Sulayman from abu Ayyub al- Madiniy from Sulayman al-Ja‘fariy who has said the following
“Abu al-Hassan, al-Rida’ (a.s.), has narrated from his father this Hadith. ’Do not use lark for food, do not abuse it and do not give it to children to play with; it says Tasbih a great deal and it is, ‘O Allah, condemn those who hate Muhammad and his family, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.’”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْمَدِينِيِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ( عليهم السلام ) قَالَ
لَا تَأْكُلُوا الْقُنْبُرَةَ وَ لَا تَسُبُّوهَا وَ لَا تُعْطُوهَا الصِّبْيَانَ يَلْعَبُونَ بِهَا فَإِنَّهَا كَثِيرَةُ التَّسْبِيحِ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ تَسْبِيحُهَا لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مُبْغِضِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( عليهم السلام ) .
