حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ الصَّفَرُ وَجَعٌ يَأْخُذُ فِي الْبَطْنِ . قُلْتُ فَمَا الْهَامَةُ قَالَ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ الْهَامَةُ الَّتِي تَصْرُخُ هَامَةُ النَّاسِ وَلَيْسَتْ بِهَامَةِ الإِنْسَانِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَابَّةٌ .

Narrator: 'Ata

English translation
Narrated 'Ata: People said: safar is a pain within the belly. I asked: What is hamah ? He said: People said (believed) that hamah which is an owl or a nightbird and which shrieks is the spirit of men. It is not the spirit of men. It is an animal
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। ‘আতা (রহঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, লোকেরা বলতো, সফর মাস পেটের ব্যথার মাস। আমি বললাম, ‘হামা’ কি? তিনি বলেন, লোকেরা বলতো, হামা হলো দাফনকৃত লাশের চিৎকারকারী আত্মা। আসলে এটা মানুষের প্রেতাত্মা নয়, বরং একটি প্রাণী। সহীহ মাকতু।
