A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Muthanna’ ibn ‘Abd al-Salam from Muhammad ibn abu al-Hakam who has said the following: “I once told my slave to prepare lunch. He took a bird in al-Haram (the sacred area), slaughtered and cooked it.

I informed abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about it and he (the Imam) said, ‘Bury it and pay ransom for every bird.” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/85))
