"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ: أَنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَى رسُولِ الله ﷺ الْوَحْدَةَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبيُّ ﷺ: لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ زَوْجًا مِنْ حَمَامٍ فَآنَسَكَ وَأَكَلتَ مِنْ فِرَاخِهِ؟ وَاتَّخَذْتَ ديكًا فَآنَسَكَ وَأَيْقَظَكَ للصَّلَاةِ؟ ".

"From Ali, that he complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about loneliness. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: Would it not be good if you took a female pigeon, which would keep you company, and you ate from its chicks? And if you took a rooster, which would keep you company and wake you for prayer?"
