     شِفْنِين طَائِرٌ مَعْرُوفٌ قَالَ ٱلْجَاحِظُ مِنْ عَجَائِبِهِ إِنَّهُ لَيُزَاوِجُ إِلَّا أُنْثَاهُ فَإِنْ هَلَكَتْ أُنْثَاهُ لَا يُزَاوِجُ أَبَدًا وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْأُنْثَى إِنْ هَلَكَ ذَكَرُهَا. شَحْمُهُ يُدَافُ بِٱلسِّيرَجِ وَيُقَطَّرُ فِي ٱلْأُذُنِ يُزِيلُ طَرَشَهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ يُزِيلُ ٱلرَّمَدَ وَجِرَاحَاتِ ٱلْعَيْنِ وَٱلْعَشَى ٱكْتِحَالًا. ذَرْقَهُ يُسْحَقُ وَيُدَافُ بِدَهْنِ ٱلْوَرْدِ وَتَحْتَمِلُهُ ٱلْمَرْأَةُ بِصُوفَةٍ يَنْفَعُ أَوْجَاءَ ٱلرَّحِمِ.

     The laughing dove is a well-known bird about which al-Jāḥiẓ said of its peculiarities that it never takes a fere except its female and when its female perishes it will never form a bond and likewise the female when its male dies. Its fat is mingled with sesame-oil and dribbled into the ear where it does away with its deafness and in the same fashion when kohled it staves off the sores and the wounds of the eye and nightblindness. One crushes its droppings and mixes them with rose oil and a woman wears it with a wool rag as it helps against woes of the womb.
