حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو , عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , عَنْ عَائِشَةَ , أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَظَرَ إِلَى إِنْسَانٍ يَتْبَعُ طَائِرًا , فَقَالَ : " شَيْطَانٌ يَتْبَعُ شَيْطَانًا " .
´It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Prophet(ﷺ) looked at a man who was chasing a bird and said:` "A devil chasing a devil."
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is permissible to keep birds for a lawful purpose; however, if it is merely for amusement and becomes a cause of wasting time, then one should avoid it.
➋
Every difficulty or preoccupation that is given undue importance beyond the permissible limit, and upon which time and wealth are wasted, is prohibited.
➌
Just as pigeon flying (kabootar bazi) is a futile and dangerous pastime, so too is kite flying (patang bazi). It is also necessary to avoid this.
➍
The reason for calling the pigeon “Shaytan” (devil) is that due to its harms, Shaytan is pleased.
