Discussion on the Name of the Sparrow

Why

was the sparrow

called a sparrow?

Lift your head, Haidar. Haidar, lift your head. Every time you come, you fall asleep.

Lift your head. Want to sleep? Go sleep over there with them, Haidar.

What is this?

Why was the sparrow

called a sparrow?

Imam al-Kulayni says—peace be upon Imam

al-Kulayni—

he says, "The sparrow was called

*'Usfur*, but its name was

*Fur*."

It

was named

*Fur, Fur*,

but it disobeyed the infallible Imam.

It disobeyed, it disobeyed the infallible Imam,

so it was called *'Asa Fur*, meaning

*Fur* disobeyed,

*'Asa Fur*. When it didn't listen to the Infallible,

it was called *'As Fur*, meaning

*'Asa Fur*. But in reality,

its name was

*Fur*.

May God bless you.
