The Boy and his Sparrow: A Tale of Loss and Love

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would come to us and I had a little brother whose nickname was Abu ‘Umayr. He had a pet sparrow he used to play with and it died. The Prophet entered one day and saw him grieving, so he said, “What is the matter with him?” They said, “His sparrow has died.” The Prophet said, “O Abu ‘Umayr, what happened to the little sparrow?” This book presents a poetic interpretation of the Hadith above, illustrating how our Prophet (PBUH) comforted a young boy following the death of his pet sparrow.
