'''Ḥadīth al-Ṭayr al-Mashwīy''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|حدیث الطَیر المَشْوِیّ}}) is a [[hadith]] regarding the virtues of [[Imam Ali (a)]]. According to this hadith, [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] wanted to eat a meal of a roasted bird (al-tayr al-mashwi). He asked God to send His most loved and virtuous creature to him to share the meal with him. After some come-and-goes, Imam Ali (a) was the person who eventually ate the meal with the Prophet (s). The hadith is cited in [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] sources. So many people have narrated the hadith such that 90 people narrated the hadith from [[Anas b. Malik]]. | '''Ḥadīth al-Ṭayr al-Mashwīy''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|حدیث الطَیر المَشْوِیّ}}) is a [[hadith]] regarding the virtues of [[Imam Ali (a)]].
