28-15 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ahmad ibn Idris quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Imran al-Ash’ari, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hamawayh, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isa al-Yaqteeni that Al-Ridha (s) said, “
A white cock has five of the traits of the Prophets (s): to know the times to pray, zeal, generosity, courage and making love often.”
15 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ إِدْرِيس، عَن مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِالأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَن إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ حمويه، عَن مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى اليَقْطِيني قالَ
قالَ الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فِي الدِّيكِ الأَبْيَضِ خَمْسُ خِصَالٍ مِنْ خِصَالِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ مَعْرِفَتُهُ بِأَوْقَاتِ الصَّلاةِ وَالْغَيْرَةُ وَالسَّخَاءُ وَالشَّجَاعَةُ وَكَثْرَةُ الطَّرُوقَةِ
