The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 804 (#Ḥadīth #5)

5ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ أَنَّ الْحَكَمَ سَأَلَ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أُهْدِيَ لَهُ حَمَامَةٌ فِي الْحَرَمِ مَقْصُوصَةٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) انْتِفْهَا وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا وَاعْلِفْهَا حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَوَى رِيشُهَا فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا.

5. Ali has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa form Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Al-Hakam once asked abu Ja’far ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about a man who receives a pigeon as a gift in al- Haram (the sacred area) with its wings shortened. He (the Imam) said, ‘He takes it, looks after it and feeds it until its wings grow, then sets it free.’”
