٦٦۔ كِتَابُ الشَّهَادَاتِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man pursuing a pigeon. He said: A devil is pursuing a female devil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4940)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى رَجُلًا يَتْبَعُ حَمَامَةً فَقَالَ شَيْطَانٌ يَتْبَعُ شَيْطَانَةً
[Machine] I witnessed Umar ibn Abdul Aziz ordering the slaughter of flying pigeons while leaving the scissors untouched.
شَهِدْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ يَأْمُرُ بِالْحَمَامِ الطَّيَّارَاتِ فَيُذْبَحْنَ وَتُتْرَكُ الْمُقَصَّصَاتُ
