(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
سَيَّارُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ طَيْرَ الْجَنَّةِ كَأَمْثَالِ الْبُخْتِ ، تَرْعَى فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ . فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَطَيْرٌ نَاعِمَةٌ ، فَقَالَ : أَكَلَتُهَا أَنْعَمُ مِنْهَا ، قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا ، وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In Paradise, there will be birds as large as the necks of camels, which will graze among the trees. Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Then those birds will be very healthy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those who eat them will be even healthier than them, and Abu Bakr! I hope that you will be among those who eat them.
