كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) بِمَكَّةَ وَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ بِهَا فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ لِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي قَمَارِيَّ اصْطَدْنَاهَا وَ قَصَّيْنَاهَا فَقُلْتُ تُنْتَفُ وَ تُعْلَفُ فَإِذَا اسْتَوَتْ خُلِّيَ سَبِيلُهَا.
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat, from Dawood Bin Farqad who said, ‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> at Makkah, and Dawood Bin Ali was in it. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Dawood Bin Ali said to me<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying, O Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, regarding the dove we had hunted and clipped (its wings)?’ So I<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You plucked, and you should feed it. So when it is straight (wings grown back), free its way’.
