The Saying When the Rooster Crows

وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «تَعَلَّمُوا مِنَ اَلدِّيكِ خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ مُحَافَظَتَهُ عَلَى أَوْقَاتِ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ اَلْغَيْرَةَ وَ اَلسَّخَاءَ وَ اَلشَّجَاعَةَ وَ كَثْرَةَ اَلطَّرُوقَةِ.
Imam عليه السلام said: "Learn five qualities from the rooster: its adherence to the timing of prayers, its protective jealousy (for its mate), its generosity, its courage, and its frequent crowing (indicating vigilance)”.
