Emotional Intelligence: The Prophet and the Pet Bird | Ustadha Dr. Rania Awaad
Channel: Muslim Community Center - MCC East Bay
Date: 2022-12-09

A boy in Medina had a pet bird. The little bird, a nughayr, a nightingale or sparrow, died.

The Prophet, peace be upon him, visited the boy, Abu Umayr, and asked him a consoling, cathartic, and rhythmic question: "'O' Abu ‘Umayr, what did the nughayr do?’”

Dr. Rania relates this touching story in the context of emotional intelligence in a talk called "Optimizing Emotional Resilience & Navigating Stress": https://youtu.be/Ztu400NS-fA
