قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ قَالَ:

إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُجَالِسُهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَوْمًا فِي صُفَّةٍ لَهُ وَتَحْتَهُ فُلَانَةُ وَفُلَانَةُ امْرَأَتَانِ ذَوَاتَا مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ، وَلَهُ مِنْهُمَا وَلَدٌ كَأَحْسَنِ الْوِلْدَانِ، سَقْسَقَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ عُصْفُورٌ، ثُمَّ قَذَفَ ذَا بَطْنِهِ فَنَكَتَهُ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بِيَدِهِ، لَأَنْ يَمُوتَ آلُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعُهُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَمُوتَ هَذَا الْعُصْفُورُ

✧ He used to sit with him in Kufa. While he was one day on a bench of his, with beneath him such-and-such a woman and such-and-such a woman, two wives of rank and beauty, and he had from them a child like the most beautiful of children, a sparrow chirped above his head, then emptied its belly and he flicked it away with his hand, then said: "By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Abd Allah, for the family of Abd Allah to die and then I follow them is dearer to me than for this sparrow to die."
