Musnad Ahmad 12957

Translation

✧ He used to visit Umm Sulaym, who had a son from Abu Talhah called Abu 'Umayr. He would joke with him. He entered upon him once and found him sad, so he said: "Why do I see Abu 'Umayr sad?" They said: "His little bird that he used to play with died." He then began saying: "Abu 'Umayr, what happened to the little bird?"
