“قال أحد الطيور الذكور لإحدى الطيور الإناث في قبة سليمان :
إني أحبك فتعالى إلىّ ...
و رفضت أنثى الطير
قال الذكر : لم تمتنعين علىّ و إن شئت قلبت القبة على سليمان
و سمعة سيدنا سليمان فاستدعاه إليه و سأله : ما حملك على ما قلت ؟
قال الطائر : يا نبي الله .. إن العشاق لا يؤاخذون بأقوالهم
و كان سليمان حكيما فقال له : صدقت”
― أحمد بهجت, مذكرات صائم
