Arabic text

3740 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِينَا فَيَقُولُ لِأَخٍ لِي وَكَانَ صَغِيرًا: «يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ»

Commentary

This is the same Hadith that has been mentioned under no 3720. The purpose of repeating it here is that Abu 'Umai', was still a child, having a child for him was beyond imagination, even though the Prophet ﷺ, selected a Kunyah for him, and addressed him with his Kunyah.
