دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( صلوات الله عليه ) فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ اذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ نَعُودُهُ وَ كَانَ شَاكِياً فَقُمْنَا وَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَإِذَا فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَاخِتَةٌ فِي قَفَصٍ تَصِيحُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا بُنَيَّ مَا يَدْعُوكَ إِلَى إِمْسَاكِ هَذِهِ الْفَاخِتَةِ أَ وَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهَا مَشُومَةٌ أَ وَ مَا تَدْرِي مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ لَا قَالَ إِنَّمَا تَدْعُو عَلَى أَرْبَابِهَا فَتَقُولُ فَقَدْتُكُمْ فَقَدْتُكُمْ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ .
Translation
From him, from Al Jamourany, from Ibn Abu Hamza, from Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I went over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Come with us to Ismail to visit him, and he has been complaining’. So we arose and went over to Ismail, so there was a <span class="iTxt">Fakhta</span> in a cage in his house, shrieking’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O my<sup>asws</sup> son! What called you to keep this <span class="iTxt">Fakhta</span>, or do you not know that it is inauspicious, or do you not know what it is saying?’ Ismail said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But rather it is supplicating against its owners, ‘You are lost, you are lost! Therefore exit it’.
