Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: What is al-Surad?

The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Al-Surad or al-Suradan?!

The Shaykh : Al-Surad?!
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Al-Surad is a type of bird. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade killing it. He forbade killing four types of animals:
ants, bees, hoopoes, and sparrow-hawks النملة والنحلة ، والهدهد والصُرَد
Sunan Abi Dawud 5267Sahih (Al-Albani)
. He said to some of the bird owners who knew them: It is the one called al-Sabari, al-Sabari. Perhaps you will say: You have explained the ambiguous with something more ambiguous than it. Yes.
The student: Al-Sabari is known.

The Shaykh : Al-Sabari is known?! Who is it that knows it is the known one?
The student: I.

The Shaykh : And you, here?
The student: It is not known.

The Shaykh : It is not known, not the one who says it is known!!
The student: Al-Surad is known.

The Shaykh : Al-Surad is known, praise be to Allah. If al-Surad is known, that is sufficient. Yes?
The student: And he hits it!

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right. Now let us begin the explanation. Let us read the explanation in the Alfiyyah. We will apply the examples.
