Anas ibn Malik said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to mix with us to the extent of asking a younger brother of mine, 'Abu 'Umayr! What has happened to the little sparrow?'"
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيُخَالِطُنَا حَتَّى يَقُولَ لأَخٍ لِي صَغِيرٍ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟

The Prophet ﷺ used to mix with us to the extent that he would say to a younger brother of mine, 'O Aba ʿUmair! What did the Nughair (a kind of bird) do?"
سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ يَقُولُ إِنْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَيُخَالِطُنَا حَتَّى يَقُولَ لأَخٍ لِي صَغِيرٍ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ
"Messenger of Allah used to mingle with us such that he said to my younger brother: 'O Abu Umair! What did the Nughair do?'" He (Anas) said: "A Bisat of ours would be sprinkled (with water) to perform Salat on."
سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُخَالِطُنَا حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ يَقُولُ لأَخٍ لِي صَغِيرٍ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ قَالَ وَنُضِحَ بِسَاطٌ لَنَا فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
"I heard Anas Bin Malik say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to mix with us so much that he said to a little brother of mine: "O Abu ʿUmair, what happened to the Nughair (one of the narrators Wakiʿ said that it means a bird that he used to play with)."
