Respect shown by birds

Miracles of Masoomeen
Mutawakkil Abbasi constructed a fort and put windows in it so that the sun may enter it from the four sides. He also placed numerous birds around, so that whenever he sat in the court the bird sang in such a way that it was difficult to hear anyone speak.

Mutawakkil was also having some birds, which remained still and did not move as long as the Imam remained there; but when Imam Hadi (a.s.) went away, they began to cackle.
