The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) 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 (May peace be upon him) 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?  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا وَلِي أَخٌ صَغِيرٌ يُكْنَى أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ وَكَانَ لَهُ نُغَرٌ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَمَاتَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَرَآهُ حَزِينًا فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُهُ قَالُوا مَاتَ نُغَرُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا وَكَانَ لِي أَخٌ صَغِيرٌ وَكَانَ لَهُ نَغْرٌ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَمَاتَ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَرَآهُ حَزِينًا فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ حَزِينًا؟ فَقَالُوا مَاتَ نُغَرُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟ أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟  

[Machine] He is called Abu 'Umayr. The Prophet ﷺ used to play with him when he entered the house of Umm Sulaym. One day, he entered and found him sad, so he said, "Why is Abu 'Umayr sad?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, his pet bird, which he used to play with, has died." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Abu 'Umayr, what happened to the little bird?"  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رُبَّمَا مَازَحَهُ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ فَدَخَلَ يَوْمًا فَوَجَدَهُ حَزِينًا فَقَالَ مَا لِأَبِي عُمَيْرٍ حَزِينًا؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاتَ نُغَيْرُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟  

[Machine] He is called Abu Umair, it is said that the Prophet ﷺ used to joke with him. One day, when he came to joke with him, he found him sad. He said, "Why do I see Abu Umair sad?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, his little bird that he used to play with has died." So he called out to him, "O Abu Umair, what did the little bird do?"  

يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رُبَّمَا يُمَازِحُهُ إِذَا جَاءَ فَدَخَلَ يَوْمًا يُمَازِحُهُ فَوَجَدَهُ حَزِينًا فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَى أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ حَزِينًا ؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَاتَ نُغَيْرُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَجَعَلَ يُنَادِيهِ يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟
