Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah
Anas ibn Malik said (may Allah be well pleased with him): "Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) would associate so closely with us that he said to a young brother of mine: “O Abu 'Umair, what has the little red- beaked sparrow done?’”
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، لَيُخَالِطُنَا حَتَّى يَقُولَ لأَخٍ لِي صَغِيرٍ: يَا أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ، مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟
