Commentary
Abū 'Umayr the brother of Anas ﷺ was a young child who had a tamed sparrow and he used to play with it. It eventually died, and the Prophet ﷺ tried to humor him by asking: "O Abū 'Umayr! What has happened to your Nughair? The idea was just to humor the child and demonstrate his love for the little one.
