الْحُسَيْنُ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ دِيكاً رِجْلَاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ السَّابِعَةِ وَ عُنُقُهُ مُثْبَتَةٌ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ وَ جَنَاحَاهُ فِي الْهَوَى إِذَا كَانَ فِي نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ أَوِ الثُّلُثِ الثَّانِي مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ ضَرَبَ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ وَ صَاحَ سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ فَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ فَتَضْرِبُ الدِّيَكَةُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا وَ تَصِيحُ.
406. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said that: ‘Allah (azwj) has a Rooster. Its feet are in the seventh earth, and its neck is fixed underneath the Throne, and its wings are in the atmosphere. When it is the middle of the night, or two thirds from the end of the night. Its flaps its wings and shouts: ‘Glorious, Holy is our Lord (azwj), Allah (azwj), the True Proven King. So there is no god other than Him (azwj), the Lord (azwj) of the Angels and the Spirit’. Thus the Rooster flaps its wing and crows’.
