Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
quran:105:3

And He sent against them birds in flocks,  

and unleashed upon them swarms of birds, ˹birds˺ in droves, one following the next (it is said there is no singular form for it ˹abābīl˺, like asātīr; but some say that the singular is abūl or ibāl or ibbīl, similar ˹in constructed pattern˺ to ‘ajūl, miftāh and sikkīn),
القرآن:١٠٥:٣

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ  

{وأرسل عليهم طيراً أبابيل} جماعات جماعات، قيل لا واحد له كأساطير، وقيل واحده: أبول أو بال أو أبيل كعجول ومفتاح وسكين.
