أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَحْمِلُ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَأُمُّهَا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ صَبِيَّةٌ يَحْمِلُهَا فَصَلَّی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ عَلَی عَاتِقِهِ يَضَعُهَا إِذَا رَکَعَ وَيُعِيدُهَا إِذَا قَامَ حَتَّی قَضَی صَلَاتَهُ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِکَ بِهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 715
It was narrated from ‘Amr bin Sulaim Az-ZuraqI that he heard Abu Qatadah say: “While we were sitting in the Masjid. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, came out to us carlying Umamah bint Abi Al-’As bin Ar Rabi’, whose mother was Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم She was a little girl and he was carrying her. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم prayed with her on his shoulder, putting her down when he bowed and picking her up again when he stood up, until he completed his prayer.” (Sahih).
