Hadith 32

ould take the fish and kill it and tear it until it floats upon the water. He hides under it and the water, which is upon it, its person not being seen. So, when the bird falls upon the floating fish, it leaps towards it and catches it. Therefore, look at this trickery, how it is made to be a nature in this animal for some of its interests? ’
Al-Mufazzal said, ‘I said, ‘Inform me, O my Masterasws, about the dragon and the cloud’. Heasws said: ‘The cloud is allocated with it, snatching it away wherever it may be, just as a rock snatches away the magnetism of the iron, and it does not emerge its head in the ground fearing from the cloud, not does it come out except in the heat when the sky is correct and there does not happen to be in it a speck of a cloud’.

Then, the ant does not take to a place except in a high part from the ground so that the flood does not flow to it and drowns it. (Is) all this without intellect or acumen (insight)? But it is a manner Created upon it for its subtle interest from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. Look at this which is called ‘Al Las’ (dragonfly? ), and the generality have named it as ‘lion of the flies’, and what it has been Given from the tricks, and the kindness in its life, and you will see it senses as being with the flies to be nearby from it, leave it for a while until as if it is dead, there being no movement with it.
