Chapter on the Prohibition of Hunting in the Sanctuary and Its Rulings
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ فِي جَانِبِ بَيْتِي مِكْتَلٌ كَانَ فِيهِ بَيْضَتَانِ مِنْ حَمَامِ اَلْحَرَمِ فَذَهَبَ غُلاَمِي فَكَبَّ اَلْمِكْتَلَ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ فِيهِ بَيْضَتَيْنِ فَكَسَرَهُمَا فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اَللَّهِ بْنَ اَلْحَسَنِ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِكَفَّيْنِ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ قَالَ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بَعْدُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ لِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «عَلَيْهِ ثَمَنُ طَيْرَيْنِ يُطْعِمُ بِهِ حَمَامَ اَلْحَرَمِ » فَلَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اَللَّهِ بْنَ اَلْحَسَنِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ خُذْ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَخَذَ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ.
Ibn Maskan narrated from Yazid ibn Khalifa, who said: "There was a basket near my house containing two eggs of the Sacred Sanctuary’s pigeons. My servant, unaware of the eggs, overturned the basket, breaking them. I went out and met Abdullah ibn al-Hasan, and I mentioned this to him. He said: 'Give in charity two handfuls of flour.' Later, I met Abu Abdullah عليه السلام and informed him. Imam عليه السلام said: 'He must pay the price of two birds, feeding the pigeons of the Sacred Sanctuary with it.' I then met Abdullah ibn al-Hasan and informed him of this. He said: 'He عليه السلام has spoken the truth; follow it, for He عليه السلام has taken this from his forefathers عليه السلام.'"
