حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَزَّارِ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَرَرْتُ أَنَا وَغُلَامٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَتَرَكْنَاهُ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ بَقْلٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَنْصَرِفْ وَجَاءَتْ جَارِيَتَانِ تَشْتَدَّانِ حَتَّى أَخَذَتَا بِرُكْبَتَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَنْصَرِفْ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2295
It was narrated from Yahya bin al-Jazzar that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: A boy from Banu Hashim and 1 came on a donkey, and we left it to graze in front of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and he did not stop praying. Two little girls came rushing and held on to the knees of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and he did not stop praying.
