Translation

2. My father, my brother, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs ibn Aḥmad, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Sandal/Safwān, from Dāwūd ibn Farqad, who said: I was sitting in the house of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a.s.)) and I saw a pigeon who was cooing for a long time. Then Abū ‘Abdillāh (a.s.) looked at me and asked, “O Dāwūd! Do you know what this bird is saying?” I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! No, I do not.” Imam (a.s.) said, “It is cursing the killers of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a.s.). Therefore, choose pigeons as birds in your houses.” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, and all of my scholars, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Sandal/Safwān, from Dāwūd ibn Farqad, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a.s.).
