Cursing of the Pigeons on the Killers of Ĥusain — Hadith 2

2. My father, my brother, ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain, and Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan all narrated to me from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs ibn Aḥmad, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Sandal/Safwān, from Dāwūd ibn Farqad, who said: I was sitting in the house of Abī ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq (a. s. )) and I saw a pigeon who was cooing for a long time. Then Abū ‘Abdillāh (a. s. ) looked at me and asked, “O Dāwūd! Do you know what this bird is saying? ” I replied, “May I sacrifice myself for you! No, I do not. ” Imam (a. s. ) said, “It is cursing the killers of Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali (a. s. ). Therefore, choose pigeons as birds in your houses. ” The above Ḥadīth has also been narrated to me through the following chain: My father, and all of my scholars, from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Al-Jāmūrāni, from Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from Sandal/Safwān, from Dāwūd ibn Farqad, from Abī ‘Abdillāh (a. s. ).
