Arabic text

3224 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ أَرْبَعٍ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ، النَّمْلَةِ، وَالنَّحْلَةِ، وَالْهُدْهُدِ، وَالصُّرَدِ»

Commentary

A shrike is a small bird with a big head, white stomach and greenbacked. It lives on small birds and insects. (Footnotes of Ibn Mājah by, Muhammad Fuwâd Abdul-Bâqî, referring to the dictionary Al-Munjid.) Ibn Athîr said this bird has a big head and big beak; its feathers are partially white and partially black.
