And from him...
And from him, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, (It has been narrated) from Ali son of Ja’far -asws who said, ‘I asked my brother -asws Musa -asws about the Hoopoe, and killing it and slaughtering it. So he -asws said: ‘Neither harm nor slaughter, for the best of the birds, (it) is it’.
[16] عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْجَامُورَانِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ التَّمِيمِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) اسْتَوْصُوا بِالصِّنِينَاتِ خَيْراً يَعْنِي الْخُطَّافَ فَإِنَّهُنَّ آنَسُ طَيْرِ النَّاسِ بِالنَّاسِ A number of our companions, from sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, altogether from Al Jamourany, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Muhammad Bin Yusuf Al Tameemy, (It has been narrated) from Muhammad son of Ja’far -asws , from his father -asws who said, ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Treat the wagtails with goodness, meaning the swallows, for these are the friendliest of the birds of the people with the people’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ تَدْرُونَ مَا تَقُولُ الصِّنِينَةُ إِذَا مَرَّتْ وَ تَرَنَّمَتْ تَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ حَتَّى قَرَأَ أُمَّ الْكِتَابِ فَإِذَا كَانَ آخِرُ تَرَنُّمِهَا قَالَتْ وَ لَا الضَّالِّينَ مَدَّ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) صَوْتَهُ وَ لَا الضَّالِّينَ . Then he -saww said: ‘And are you knowing what the wagtail (swallow) is saying when it passes by and sings?
She is saying, ‘In the Name of Allah -azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Praise is for Allah -azwj Lord -azwj of the Worlds’ – until he -saww recited the ‘Mother of the Book’ ( Surah Al-Fatiha , Chapter 1). So when it comes the end of its singing, so she says, ‘ Wa La Zalleeen ’ (last Words of Surah al-Fatiha ). Rasool-Allah -saww extended his -saww voice with it, ‘ Wa La Zalleen ’.
