قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) احْتَفَرَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) بِئْراً فَرَمَوْا فِيهَا فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ فَجَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَتَكُفَّنَّ أَوْ لَأُسْكِنَنَّهَا الْحَمَامَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ حَفِيفَ أَجْنِحَتِهَا تَطْرُدُ الشَّيَاطِينَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Muhammad Bin Amro, from Ibrahim Al Sandy, from Yahya Al Azraq who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> dug a well, so they (people) threw (things) in it. So he<sup>asws</sup> was informed with that, so he<sup>asws</sup> came over until he<sup>asws</sup> paused over it and said: ‘You should refrain or else I<sup>asws</sup> will dwell the pigeons in it’. Then Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A swishing of their wings is a repellent for the satans<sup>la</sup>’.
