مَا كَانَ يَصُفُّ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ فَلَيْسَ لَكَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَهُ وَ مَا كَانَ لَا يَصُفُّ فَلَكَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَهُ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ دَجَاجِ الْحَبَشِ قَالَ لَيْسَ مِنَ الصَّيْدِ إِنَّمَا الصَّيْدُ مَا طَارَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Whatever from the birds which arrays (its wings in flight), so it is not for you that you exit it, and whatever was not arraying (its wings in flight), so it is for you that you exit it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the Ethiopian chicken (Turkey). He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not from the hunts. But rather the hunt is what flies between the sky and the earth’.
