الطَّاوُسُ مَسْخٌ كَانَ رَجُلًا جَمِيلًا فَكَابَرَ امْرَأَةَ رَجُلٍ مُؤْمِنٍ تُحِبُّهُ فَوَقَعَ بِهَا ثُمَّ رَاسَلَتْهُ بَعْدُ فَمَسَخَهُمَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ طَاوُسَيْنِ أُنْثَى وَ ذَكَراً وَ لَا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ وَ لَا بَيْضُهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Bakr Bin Salih, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The peacock was morphed, and it was a handsome man, so he insisted stubbornly a wife of a Believing man who loved him. So he copulated with her, then (she) sent messages to him (inviting him) afterwards. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Morphed both of them as peacocks, female and male, and neither eat their meats, nor their eggs’.
