باب اللعب واللهو - ذكر الزجر عن اشتغال المرء بالحمام وسائر الطيور عبثا-
Chapter on Play and Amusement – Warning against playing with pigeons and other birds for no benefit
Hadith Number: 5874
اخبرنا ابو يعلى ، قال: حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن سلام الجمحي ، قال: حدثنا حماد بن سلمة ، عن محمد بن عمرو ، عن ابي سلمة، عن ابي هريرة ، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم راى رجلا يتبع حمامة، فقال: " شيطان يتبع شيطانة" . قال ابو حاتم: اللاعب بالحمام لا يتعدى لعبه من ان يتعقبه بما يكره الله جل وعلا، والمرتكب لما يكره الله عاص، والعاصي يجوز ان يقال له: شيطان، وإن كان من اولاد آدم، قال الله تعالى: شياطين الإنس والجن فسمى العصاة منهما شياطين، وإطلاقه صلى الله عليه وسلم اسم الشيطان على الحمامة للمجاورة، ولان الفعل من العاصي بلعبها تعداه إليها.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man running after a pigeon and said, "One devil is going after another devil."
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The action of a person who plays with pigeons leads to a situation that Allah Almighty dislikes, so whoever commits something that Allah dislikes is a sinner, and it is permissible to call a sinner a devil, even if he is from the children of Adam. Allah Almighty has said: "Devils from among mankind and jinn." So Allah Almighty has used the word 'devil' for the sinner from both groups. Similarly, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used the word 'devil' for the pigeon metaphorically, because here the sinner's action is related to that pigeon.
