كُنْتُ جَالِساً فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى حَمَامٍ رَاعِبِيٍّ يُقَرْقِرُ طَوِيلًا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ يَا دَاوُدُ تَدْرِي مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا الطَّيْرُ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يَدْعُو عَلَى قَتَلَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَاتَّخِذُوا فِي مَنَازِلِكُمْ .
Translation
From him, from Al Jamourany, form Ibn Abu Hamza, from Sandal, from Dawood Bin Farqad who said, ‘I was seated in the house of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so I looked at an <span class="iTxt">Al-Ra’aiby</span> pigeon cooing for a long time. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> looked at me, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Dawood! Do you know what this bird is saying?’ I said, ‘No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, may I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is supplicating against the killers of Al-Husayn<sup>asws</sup>, therefore take it to be in your houses’.
