Question:
Some of the common people, when they meet someone, say: "Good, O bird." What is your opinion of this phrase?
Answer:
It has no basis. It is narrated that some people were with al-Hasan or with Tawus, and a bird passed by crying out, so he said: "Good, O bird." Then he said: "Go away from me, and what good is there with this person?!" or as he said, may Allah have mercy on him.
