Hunting in al-Haram (the sacred area) and The Expiation for the Same
24ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ مُثَنًّى قَالَ خَرَجْنَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَاصْطَادَتِ النِّسَاءُ قُمْرِيَّةً مِنْ قَمَارِيِّ أَمَجَ حَيْثُ بَلَغْنَا الْبَرِيدَ فَنَتَفَتِ النِّسَاءُ جَنَاحَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا بِهَا مَكَّةَ فَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ تَنْظُرُونَ امْرَأَةً لا بَأْسَ بِهَا فَتُعْطُونَهَا الطَّيْرَ تَعْلِفُهُ وَتُمْسِكُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَوَى جَنَاحَاهُ خَلَّتْهُ.
24. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Muthanna’ who has said the following: “Once we went to Makkah and women caught a turtledove of Amlaj (a place between al-Madinah and Makkah) turtledoves. The women pulled out the feathers of its wing, then took it to Makkah. Abu Basir went to visit abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, and informed him (the Imam) about it. He (the Imam) said, ‘Look for a trustworthy woman and give it to her to feed and keep it until its wings grow to normal, then set it free.’”
