And ancient original transmitted from the handwriting of Al Tal’akburi, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘I was informed by Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, from Ahmad Bin muhammad Bin Isa, from Musa Bin Al Wasim, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Riab, from a slave of the people of Qum, ‘I have been informed from the one who had informed him, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘A man from the Jews said to Rasool-Allah-saww, ‘O Muhammad-saww! Inform me what the donkey says during its braying, and what the horse says during its neighing, and what the pheasant says during its shouting, and what the Skylark says in its voice, and what the frog says during its croaking, and what the hoopoe says in its voice’. He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww lowered his-saww head, then said: ‘Call Ali-asws, O Jew! ’
He-asws said: ‘He-asws was called. He-asws said: ‘(O) Rasool-Allah-saww! As for the donkey, it curses the tax collectors; and as for the horse, it says, ‘The Kingdom is for Allah-azwj the One, the Subduer! ’; and as for the pheasant, it says, ‘The Beneficent is even upon the Throne! ’; and as for the rooster, it says, ‘Glorious! Holy is Lord-azwj of the Angels and the Spirit! ’
And as for the frog, it says, ‘Remember Allah-azwj, O heedless ones! ’; and as for the hoopoe, it says, ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-as, O Dawood-as’ – meaning Suleyman Bin Dawood-as; and as for the Skylark, it says, ‘May Allah-azwj Curse the one hating People-asws of the Household of Rasool-Allah‑saww! ’’[23]
