Hadith 2485
۞
2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Sulayman ibn Rushayd from al-Qasim ibn ‘ Abd al-Rahman al-Hashimiy from Muhammad ibn Mukhallad al-Ahwaziy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A white rooster which is called afraq protects its house and seven houses around it, however, a vibration from a spotted pigeon is better than seven white roosters.”’
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ رُشَيْدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَخْلَدٍ الْأَهْوَازِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ
دِيكٌ أَبْيَضُ أَفْرَقُ يَحْرُسُ دُوَيْرَتَهُ وَ سَبْعَ دُوَيْرَاتٍ حَوْلَهُ وَ لَنَفْضَةٌ مِنْ حَمَامٍ مُنَمَّرَةٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِ دُيُوكٍ فُرْقٍ بِيضٍ .
