قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَا تَأْتُوا الْفِرَاخَ فِي أَعْشَاشِهَا وَ لَا الطَّيْرَ فِي مَنَامِهِ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ وَ مَا مَنَامُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ اللَّيْلُ مَنَامُهُ فَلَا تَطْرُقْهُ فِي مَنَامِهِ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ وَ لَا تَأْتُوا الْفَرْخَ فِي عُشِّهِ حَتَّى يَرِيشَ وَ يَطِيرَ فَإِذَا طَارَ فَأَوْتِرْ لَهُ قَوْسَكَ وَ انْصِبْ لَهُ فَخَّكَ .
Translation
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<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>asws</sup> 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<sup>saww</sup>, ‘And what is their sleep, O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>?’ So he<sup>saww</sup> 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’.
