Shurahbil Abu Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he entered al-Aswaq and caught a bird there (called a nahs). Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Let it go, may you have no mother! Do you not know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made it unlawful to hunt the birds between the two stony tracts of Madinah?
