Hadith 32

down from the advancing and the flying. All things from its creation has been Made similar for the matter, which is Ordained to happen upon it. Then the travelling bird comes in the air and sits upon its egg preparing it for a week, and some of them for two weeks, and some of them for three weeks until the chick hatches from the egg. Then it turns towards it and opens (its throat) for the wind to widen its throat for the food intake. Then it raises it and feeds it with what it can live with. So, who encumbered it that it should hold the food and bring it out after it had settled in his throat, and feed its chick with it? And for which meaning does it bear these difficulties and it isn’t with acumen nor any thinking? And it does not hope in its chick what the human being hopes for in his children from the honour and the help, and remaining of the male? So, this, it is a deed testifying that it is king upon its chick, perhaps it does not recognise it nor does it think regarding it, and it is a perpetuation (propagation) of the lineage and its remaining, a kindness from Allahazwj, Exalted is Hisazwj Mention. Look at the chicken, how it gets excited for the incubation of the egg and the hatching, gathering of eggs for it or a nest as a home, but it emits, and swells, and clenches and refrains from the food until the eggs are gathered for it, so it incubates and hatches. So, why was that from it except for the establishment of the lineage? And who took it with establishing the lineage, and there is neither any acumen nor any thinking, if it had not been a natural propensity (inclination) upon that? Consider the creation of the egg and what is therein from the yellow coagulated yolk, and the thin while water. Part of it, the chick would come from it, and part of it would feed with it, until the egg is broken from it, and what is therein from the arrangement. If the chick had been born in that fortified crust which nothing can reach to it, it is made to be with it in its inside from the feed what it could be sufficed with until the time of its exit from it, like the one who is withheld in a fortified prison, no one can arrive to him in it, so it is made to be with him, from the feed, what he could be sufficed with up to the time of his exit from it. Think regarding the crop (food collection pouch) of the bird and what is determined for it, for the course of the food to its stomach is narrow, the food cannot go through it except little by little. So, if the bird cannot swallow a second seed until the first one arrives to its stomach, it would be prolonged upon it, and when would it finish its meal? So, rather, the misappropriation confuses it due to the severity of the caution. The crop has been Made to be like the temporary storage for undigested (feed) in order to store in it whatever it gets from the food quickly, then move
