3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a bird which comes back from a faraway place. He (the Imam) said, ‘It comes back because of its sustenance.’”
