"إِنَّ طَيْرَ الجنَّةِ كأمثال البُخْت تَرْعى في شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ أبُو بكرٍ: يا رسولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَطَيْرٌ نَاعِمَةٌ، فقال: أكْلُهَا أَنَعَمُ منها، وإِنِّى لأرجو أَن تكونَ ممَّن يأكُلُ منها".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, the birds of Paradise are like the size of Bukht (crows) and they graze on the trees of Paradise." Abu Bakr said, "O Messenger of Allah, these birds are delicate." He said, "They eat from it but it is more delicate than them." Abu Bakr repeated this three times and then said, "I hope to be among those who eat from it, O Abu Bakr."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ طَيْرَ الْجَنَّةِ كَأَمْثَالِ الْبُخْتِ تَرْعَى فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَطَيْرٌ نَاعِمَةٌ فَقَالَ أَكَلَتُهَا أَنْعَمُ مِنْهَا قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا وَإِنِّيلَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ
