Holding/Carrying a Child During Salah



Photo: Holding/Carrying a Child During Salah

'Abdullah ibn Shidad  relates that his father  said: "The Messenger of Allah  came to us either during the noon or afternoon prayers and he was carrying Hassan or Hussain. The Prophet   proceeded to the front and put him down and made the takbir for the salah. During the salah, he made a long sajdah. I raised my head and saw the child on the back of the Messenger of Allah   while he was in sajdah. I returned to my sajdah. When the Messenger of Allah   finished the salah, the people said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, you prostrated during your salah so long that we suspected you were thinking about some matter or you were receiving some revelation.' He   said: 'None of that happened but my son was resting and I hated to rush him until he had finished what he desired."'   [related by Ahmad, an-Nasa'i, and al-Hakim]

The Prophet   came out towards us, while carrying Umamah, the daughter of Abi Al-As (his grand-daughter) over his shoulder. He prayed, and when he wanted to bow, he put her down, and when he stood up, he lifted her up. [Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 25: Narrated Abu Qatada]
