إِذَا أُغِيرَ الرَّجُلُ فِي أَهْلِهِ أَوْ بَعْضِ مَنَاكِحِهِ مِنْ مَمْلُوكِهِ فَلَمْ يَغَرْ وَ لَمْ يُغَيِّرْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ طَائِراً يُقَالُ لَهُ الْقَفَنْدَرُ حَتَّى يَسْقُطَ عَلَى عَارِضَةِ بَابِهِ ثُمَّ يُمْهِلَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ يَهْتِفَ بِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَيُورٌ يُحِبُّ كُلَّ غَيُورٍ فَإِنْ هُوَ غَارَ وَ غَيَّرَ وَ أَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْكَرَهُ وَ إِلَّا طَارَ حَتَّى يَسْقُطَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَيَخْفِقَ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَطِيرَ عَنْهُ فَيَنْزِعُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ تُسَمِّيهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الدَّيُّوثَ .
Translation
From him, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, altogether, from Ibn Mahboub, from Is’haq Bin Jareer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When a man is not watchful of guarding the honour of his wife or those married to him, so he does not act with a sense of honour, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Sends a bird called Al-Qanfadar to him which settles upon a joist of his door, then gives him respite for forty days. Then it shouts out, ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is most Honourable and Loves every honourble one’. So either he (starts) acting vigilantly, and changes and shows remorse to his lack of protectionism, otherwise it flies over until it settles upon his head, so it spreads out its wings upon his eyes, then it files away. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Snatches away from him, after that, the spirit of the ‘Eman’ (faith), and the Angels name him as the cuckold (pimp)’.
