باب ما جاء فى صفة مزاح رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the joking of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
O Umair, where is your little bird?
Hadith 235
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيُخَالِطُنَا حَتَّى يَقُولَ لِأَخٍ لِي صَغِيرٍ: «يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ، مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟» قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: " وَفِقْهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُمَازِحُ وَفِيهِ أَنَّهُ كَنَّى غُلَامًا صَغِيرًا فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ. وَفِيهِ أَنَّهُ لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يُعْطَى الصَّبِيُّ الطَّيْرَ لِيَلْعَبَ بِهِ. وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ، مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟» لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ نُغَيْرٌ يَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَمَاتَ، فَحَزِنَ الْغُلَامُ عَلَيْهِ فَمَازَحَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ، مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟»
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that indeed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to mingle with us so much that once he said to my younger brother: "O father of Umair! What happened to your Nughayr?" Imam Abu Isa (Tirmidhi) says: From this hadith, it is known that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to joke as well, and from this hadith, it is also known that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a child the kunyah Abu Umair. It is also understood that there is nothing wrong in giving a bird to a child so that he may play with it, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: «يا أبا عمير ما فعل النغير», by which it is meant that this child had a nughayr with which he used to play, and when that nughayr died, the child became sad. Thus, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in a playful and cheerful manner, said to him: «يا أبا عمير ما فعل النغير».
