قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) الْإِوَزُّ جَامُوسُ الطَّيْرِ وَ الدَّجَاجُ خِنْزِيرُ الطَّيْرِ وَ الدُّرَّاجُ حَبَشُ الطَّيْرِ وَ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ عَنْ فَرْخَيْنِ نَاهِضَيْنِ رَبَّتْهُمَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ رَبِيعَةَ بِفَضْلِ قُوتِهَا .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Amro Bin Usman raising it, said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The goose is the buffalo of the birds, and the chicken is the pig of the birds, and the pheasant is the turkey of the bird, and where are you from the two rising chicks (such as) raised by a woman from Rabi’a ( a village) by the remains of her livelihood (so eat those)’.
