Ḍamrah ibn Rabīʿah narrated, on the authority of Aṣbagh ibn Zayd, who said:
Saʿīd ibn Jubayr owned a rooster whose crow would wake him for the night prayer. One night it failed to crow until daybreak, so Saʿīd did not pray that night. Distressed, he exclaimed, “What is the matter with it? May Allah cut off its voice!” From that moment on, no sound was ever heard from the bird. His mother said to him, “My son, do not call down a curse on anything again after this.” (1)
