Hadith 11177

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ تُلُقِّيَ بِالصِّبْيَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ وَإِنَّهُ قَدِمَ مَرَّةً مِنْ سَفَرٍ قَالَ فَسُبِقَ بِي إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَحَمَلَنِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِأَحَدِ ابْنَيْ فَاطِمَةَ إِمَّا حَسَنٍ وَإِمَّا حُسَيْنٍ فَأَرْدَفَهُ خَلْفَهُ قَالَ فَدَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ ثَلَاثَةً عَلَى دَابَّةٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would return from a journey, the children of his family would be brought to meet him. Once, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from a journey, I was the first to be taken to him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated me in front of him on his mount. Then, one of the sons of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), either Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), was brought, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) seated him behind himself. Thus, the three of us entered Madinah riding on one mount.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … But nowadays, children yearn for the affection of elders; there is no excellence in merely loving one’s own sons. The true excellence lies in loving all children without discrimination, just as the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to do.
