92 – Muhammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Shaqiq narrated to us; Ibrahim ibn al-Ash‘ath narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated to us; Hazm narrated to us, from al-Hasan, who said: Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a bird perched on a tree and remarked, “Blessed are you, little bird! You eat the fruit and sit upon the branches, while I wish I were merely a piece of fruit that a bird could peck at.”
٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْأَشْعَثِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَزْمٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: أَبْصَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ﵁ طَائِرًا وَاقِعًا عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ، فَقَالَ: «طُوبَى لَكَ يَا طَائِرُ، تَأْكُلُ الثَّمَرَ، وَتَقَعُ عَلَى الشَّجَرِ، وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي ثَمَرَةٌ يَنْقُرُهَا الطَّيْرُ»
