Abdullah bin Jafar said “When the Prophet ﷺ arrived after a journey, we were taken for his reception. Any of us who met him first he lifted him in front of him. As I was the first to meet him, he lifted me in front of him. Then Hasan or Hussain was brought to him and he set him behind him. We the entered Madeenah and we (were) riding so (three on one beast). ”

Umar bin Khattab (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) distributed something. Upon this I said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by God, the others besides them were more deserving than these (to whom you gave charity). He said: They had in fact left no other alternative for me. but (that they should) either beg importunately from me or they would regard me as a miser, but I am not a miser.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: At times, in order to protect oneself from the evil and corruption of someone, it becomes necessary—despite their being undeserving—to give them some material benefit to silence them. The circumstances and conditions of the time demand this, and wisdom and expediency require it, so one has to act accordingly.

´Abdullah bin Ja'far said:` "Whenever the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) came back from a journey, he would be met by us(children). (One day) he was met by me and Hasan or Husain. He made one of us ride in front of him and the other behind him, until we came to Al-Madinah."

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Elders should treat children with kindness.
➋ It is permissible to welcome someone returning from a journey, but one should not display unnecessary formalities in doing so.
➌ More than one person may ride an animal, provided that the animal can easily bear the load. On a long journey or if the animal is weak, it is not appropriate for two people to ride together.
➍ Abdullah bin Ja‘far (radi Allahu anhu) and Hasan or Husayn (radi Allahu anhuma) were children. The combined weight of both of them was not equal to that of one adult, so three people riding together did not cause hardship for the animal.
