Context
WE RELATE FROM the Ṣaḥīḥs of al-Bukhārī and Muslim that Anas
said: “The Prophet
was the best of all people in character. I had a brother called Abū ‘Umayr” (the narrator added, “I think he said Faṭīm”). “When the Prophet
came to him he said: ‘O Abū ‘Umayr, what did the little bird do?’ He used to play with a bird.” [1].
