A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Rahman, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -asws said: ‘Do not come to the chicks in the nests, nor the bird during their sleep until the morning’.
So a man said to him -saww , ‘And what is their sleep, O Rasool-Allah -saww ?’ So he -saww said: ‘The night is its sleep, therefore do not hunt it during its sleep until the morning, and do not come to the chick in its nest until it has grown feathers and it flies. So when it flies, then aim with your bow at it, and set-up your net for it’.
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Imran Al Halby who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘What is disliked from the birds?’ So he -asws said: ‘When arrays its wings hovering upon your head’.
