1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ’Isma‘il ibn Mehran from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from abu Bakr al-Hadramiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ’If one likes to keep birds in his house, he must keep Warshan (a kind of pigeon). It speaks of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, most often as well as Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) and it is a bird that loves us, the Ahl al-Bayt (family of prophet Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause).’”
IsnādUn certain nombre de nos compagnons de la part d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid, d'Isma'il ibn Mihran, de Saif ibn Amirah, d'Abu Bakr al-Hadrami, de Abu 'Abdillah (que la paix soit sur lui) ont rapporté que :
Celui qui prend dans sa maison un oiseau, qu'il prenne un abreuvoir, car c'est l'une des choses les plus abondantes pour se souvenir de Dieu, pour faire plus de glorifications, et c'est un oiseau qui nous aime, nous, la famille du Prophète.
