Making peace between doves

Muhammad Ibne Yahya has narrated from Muhammad Ibne Ahmad from Muhammad Ibne Husain from Muhammad Ibne Ali from Asim Ibne Hamid from Muhammad Ibne Muslim, who said: 

“One day I was in the presence of Abu Ja’far (a.s) when a pair of turtledove came and sat on the wall and exchanged voices as they usually do. Abu Ja’far (a.s) then also conversed with them for a while. They then flew away and on the other wall the male spoke to the female for a while and then both flew away. I asked the Imam (a.s), 

“May I be sacrificed on you, “What were these birds?” 

Imam (a) said, “O Ibne Muslim, all that Allah has created, such as birds, animals or other things that have life they obey us better than people. 

The male dove was suspicious about the female and she denied it on oath which the male did not accept. Then she asked if he would abide by the decision of Muhammad Ibne Ali? 

He agreed and told him that he had wronged his partner; then he believed her.”

On the way, one day at Johfa I headed for Ghadeer, which is at a distance of four miles from Johfa. I reached there and prayed in the Masjid and after that I supplicated Almighty Allah very fervently; but the aim was not fulfilled there also. So I went to Asfan and thus passing each stage in turn, reached Mecca. I stayed there for some days and was engrossed in Tawaf and other devotions. One night, when I was doing the Tawaf, I noticed an extremely handsome and fragrant young man walking about and doing the Tawaf of the Kaaba. Some feelings arose in my heart; I moved towards him and touched him. He asked: Where do you belong to? I said: Iraq. He asked: Where in Iraq? I said: ...
