English narration
Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري
Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to visit us. I had a younger brother who was called Abu ‘Umair by Kunyah (surname). He had a sparrow with which he played, but it died. So one day the prophet ﷺ came to see him and saw him grieved. He asked: What is the matter with him? The people replied: His sparrow has died. He then said: Abu ‘Umair! What has happened to the little sparrow?

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : "
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا ، وَلِي أَخٌ صَغِيرٌ يُكْنَى : أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ ، وَكَانَ لَهُ نُغَرٌ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَمَاتَ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، فَرَآهُ حَزِينًا , فَقَالَ : مَا شَأْنُهُ ؟ قَالُوا : مَاتَ نُغَرُهُ , فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ ، مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ
