مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 185
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
“Abū Ṭalḥah had a young son called Abū ʿUmayr, and the Prophet ﷺ would jest with him. He [Anas] said: One day he saw him looking sad and said: ‘O Abū ʿUmayr, what has happened to the little bird (al-nughayr)?’”

Musnad Aḥmad 185
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ لِأَبِي طَلْحَةَ ابْنٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ: أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ، فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُضَاحِكُهُ. قَالَ: فَرَآهُ حَزِينًا، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ، مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟»

Chain: Aḥmad → Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān → Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl → Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān al-Baṣrī: thiqa mutqin, d. 198 AH. (2) Ḥumayd ibn Abī Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl al-Baṣrī: thiqa, d. 142 AH. (3) Anas ibn Mālik: Companion, d. ca. 93 AH. Takhrīj: Al-Bukhārī (6129); Abū Dāwūd (4969); al-Tirmidhī (333); Aḥmad (12137). Al-nughayr is the diminutive of al-nughar, a small red-beaked bird that the child had kept and that had died. Abū ʿUmayr was the young brother of Anas by Umm Sulaym and Abū Ṭalḥa. Scholars have drawn an unusually long list of rulings from this short report, among them the permissibility of jesting with children, of addressing a child by a kunya, of keeping a bird in the house, and of consoling the small griefs of the young.
