📖 1 min readعن أبي قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ رضي الله عنه قال: «أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يُصَلِّي وهو حامل أُمَامَةَ بنت زينب بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ».
ولأبي العاص بن الربيع بن عبد شَمْسٍ رضي الله عنه : «فإذا سجد وضعها، وإذا قام حملها».
The Hadīth informs that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would occasionally carry Umāmah, the daughter of his daughter Zaynab, while he was in prayer. He would put her on his shoulder when he was standing and place her on the ground when he bowed or prostrated himself. He did this out of love and affection.
