Hunting in al-Haram (the sacred area) and The Expiation for the Same
22ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) بِمَكَّةَ وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ بِهَا فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ لِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مَا تَقُولُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الله فِي قَمَارِيَّ اصْطَدْنَاهَا وَقَصَّيْنَاهَا فَقُلْتُ تُنْتَفُ وَتُعْلَفُ فَإِذَا اسْتَوَتْ خُلِّيَ سَبِيلُهَا.
22. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah from Dawud ibn Farqad who has said the following: “Once we were in the presence of abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, in Makkah and Dawud ibn Ali also was in it. Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, said to me, ‘Dawud ibn Ali asked me, “What do you say, O abu ‘Abd Allah, about the turtledove we caught and shortened their feathers?”’ I replied, ‘Because of your pulling out its feathers, you must feed them until their feathers grow as normal; then set them free.’”
