Then the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) came and said: Is there anything with you? She brought the bird to him, and he raised his hands and said: O Allah, send me Your most beloved creation to You to eat with me from this bird. Then Ali came. I said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) is busy," and the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) had just entered, and the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) was occupied with something from the bird for a while, then he raised his hand and said: O Allah, send me Your most beloved creation to You to eat with me from this bird. Then Ali came, and a loud voice arose between me and him, and the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said: Let him in, whoever it was. So he entered, and the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, "My ally, O Lord," three times, and he ate with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) until they both finished.
