وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ أَبْصَرَ طَائِراً فَتَبِعَهُ حَتَّى سَقَطَ عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَأَخَذَهُ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) لِلْعَيْنِ مَا رَأَتْ وَ لِلْيَدِ مَا أَخَذَتْ .


Translation

And by his chain that, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said regarding a man who saw a bird, so he pursued it until it fell upon a tree. So another man came over, so he seized it. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is for the eye what it sees, and for the hand what it seizes’.
