حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ جُوَيْبِرٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ قَالَ:
رَأَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ طَيْرًا وَاقِعًا عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ، فَقَالَ: طُوبَى لَكَ يَا طَيْرُ، وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ مِثْلَكَ، تَقَعُ عَلَى الشَّجَرِ، وَتَأْكُلُ مِنَ الثَّمَرِ، ثُمَّ تَطِيرُ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ حِسَابٌ وَلَا عَذَابٌ ! وَاللهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ شَجَرَةً إِلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ، مَرَّ عَلَيَّ جَمَلٌ فَأَخَذَنِي فَأَدْخَلَنِي فَاهُ، فَلَاكَنِي، ثُمَّ ازْدَرَدَنِي، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَنِي بَعْرًا، وَلَمْ أَكُنْ بَشَرًا

Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq saw a bird perched on a tree, and he said: "Blessed are you, O bird! By Allah, I wish I were like you, alighting on the trees, eating of the fruit, then flying off, with no reckoning and no punishment upon you! By Allah, I wish I were a tree beside the road, and a camel passed by me, took me, put me in its mouth, chewed me, then swallowed me, then expelled me as dung, and I had not been a human being."
