أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَنَّ الْحَکَمَ أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَی بْنَ الْجَزَّارِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ وَغُلَامٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ عَلَی حِمَارٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَنَزَلُوا وَدَخَلُوا مَعَهُ فَصَلَّوْا وَلَمْ يَنْصَرِفْ فَجَائَتْ جَارِيَتَانِ تَسْعَيَانِ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَأَخَذَتَا بِرُکْبَتَيْهِ فَفَرَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ يَنْصَرِفْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 758
It was narrated that Suhaib said: “I heard Ibn ‘Abbas narrate that he passed in front of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم he and a young boy of Banu Hashim, riding a donkey in front of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when he was praying. Then they dismounted and joined the prayer, and he did not stop praying. Then two young girls of Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib started running around and grabbing him by the knees. He separated them but he did not stop praying.” (Hasan)
