I passed through a wood and heard the voices of young birds; and I took
and put them into my carpet; and their mother came fluttering around my
head, and I uncovered the young, and the mother fell down upon them, then
I wrapped them up in my carpet; and there are the young which I have."

joined them: and Muhammad said, "Do you wonder at the affection of the
mother towards her young? I swear by Him who hath sent me, verily God is
more loving to His creatures than the mother to these young birds. Return

them."" | |
