حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق الْفَزَارِيُّ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ يَعْنِي الْعِجْلِيَّ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ ، اسْتُقْبِلَ بِنَا فَأَيُّنَا اسْتُقْبِلَ أَوَّلًا جَعَلَهُ أَمَامَهُ فَاسْتُقْبِلَ بِي فَحَمَلَنِي أَمَامَهُ ، ثُمَّ اسْتُقْبِلَ بِحَسَنٍ أَوْ حُسَيْنٍ ، فَجَعَلَهُ خَلْفَهُ فَدَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَإِنَّا لَكَذَلِكَ " .
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). ”

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.
