حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، شَيْخٌ لَهُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهُ " يَا بُنَىَّ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَعُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ . وَأَبُو عُثْمَانَ هَذَا شَيْخٌ ثِقَةٌ وَهُوَ الْجَعْدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ وَيُقَالُ ابْنُ دِينَارٍ وَهُوَ بَصْرِيٌّ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الأَئِمَّةِ .

Anas reported that the Prophet said to him, ‘My dear son.’
There are reports on this topic from al-Mughirah and ‘Umar ibn Abi Salamah. Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih gharib hadith through this route, and it has also been transmitted from Anas through other routes. This Abu ‘Uthman is a trustworthy teacher, identified as al-Ja‘d ibn ‘Uthman—or, it is said, Ibn Dinar. He was from Basra. Yunus ibn ‘Ubayd and more than one leading scholar narrated from him.

The short excerpt preserves only the affectionate address ‘ya bunayya’ (‘my dear son’); the source includes additional routes and identifies the trustworthy transmitter Abu ‘Uthman by variant names.
